Number one sounds better to me. But perhaps there is a different word than communicating. It needs a little explaining, it seems to me.

The ability to communicate will be proven at the interview with 1 more so than 2 I think: 1 gives me the sense of more immediate action as in speaking skills. 2 gives me the sense of more general (not being specific) kinds of communication. It might be safer to go with 2. unless you are like Tom Hopkins.
