Competency-based interviews
Everything you need to know about..
Estimates indicate that a third to a half of all employers are using competency interviews as part of their recruitment process.
These types of interviews are based on the premise that past behaviour is a good predictor of future behaviour.

Questions aim to find out how you have used specific skills in your previous experience and how you approach problems, tasks and challenges.
Here are our top 6 competency
interview tips:

1. List the competencies specified in the job and person specification and prepare two strong concrete examples of each ahead of your interview.

2. Make sure you understand clearly which competency you’re being asked about before you supply an example.

3. It's far better to say ‘I may need a few moments to think about that’ than to respond with a scenario that's not a good example!

4. With each example, be clear about the process and the results so that the interviewer can ascertain the way you prefer to work.

5. Practice your examples with a critical friend before your interview but don’t rehearse to the point where you sound robotic!
6. Make sure that you convey your personality with your answers.

Competency-based interviews are less of a conversation and more of a question and answer session and in this regard can be quite taxing.
