The basic premise of a Competency Based Interview is that a candidate&#8217;s past performance is the best indicator of their future performance. All of the questions will be directly linked to a particular function of the position for which you have applied. Interviewers will ask for examples of things you have actually done that demonstrate the key characteristics their organisation needs from the particular role. There are a number of categories of competency based questions and if you prepare your answers carefully, you will be in a terrific position to sell yourself in the interviews. While some are particularly geared towards senior level management roles, the basic principles will remain the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember these key points:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take your actual experience.<\/li>\n<li>Explain how you have performed in a certain situation.<\/li>\n<li>Detail what you have learned from the situation.<\/li>\n<li>Give an overview of how you would cope in the future given a similar situation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>How can I identify a competency-based interview question?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Competency based interview questions are usually prefixed by something like \u201cdescribe a time when\u2026\u201d or \u201cgive us an example of when\u2026\u201d Typical questions might be:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Give an example of when you\u2019ve used an innovative way to solve a problem;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tell us about a time when you\u2019ve acted as a team leader;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Give us an example of a time when you\u2019ve thrived under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The questions will usually be related to the kind of skills you\u2019ll need to thrive in the job role, such as:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Organisational skills;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Planning;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Creativity;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Problem solving;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Teamwork;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Communication;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Leadership;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Attention to detail;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Persuasiveness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"apply\">\n<h3>Test your skills by taking our Performance Appraisal practice tests on this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/practice\/quiz\/Performance-Appraisal\">link<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Apply for Performance Appraisal Certification Now!!<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/Certified-Performance-Appraisal-Manager\">http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/Certified-Performance-Appraisal-Manager<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/tutorial\/certified-performance-appraisal-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Go back to Tutorial<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/human-resources\/certified-performance-appraisal-manager\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Go to Home Page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certify and Increase Opportunity.
