How to ACE your next Competency Based Interview
- STRUCTURE | Competency Based Interviews are effectively storytelling. Imagine you are telling a kid a story, it needs a START (once upon a time), MIDDLE, and END (happy ending). The 3 steps are called SITUATION, ACTIONS, and RESULT
- FOCUS | You MUST demonstrate certain actions and behaviours for each competency. If you don’t know what these are, you’ll ramble or lack focus. Therefore, you MUST know what each competency means
- SIMPLICITY | Don’t write pages of text. Instead, use mind maps to plot out what you will seay. This is less daunting, and it’s less likely that you will become overwhelmed with content
