Have you been invited to a Competency Based or Behavioural interview? Unsure of what's involved? Worried about the questions and how to answer successfully?
Competency Based Interviews are now used by many recruiters and are notoriously difficult, especially for the unprepared candidate. Tailored specifically for Competency Based Interviews, InterviewGOLD has been designed to quickly and easily teach you al the essential skills you need to excel in your interview and get the job offer.
A Competency Based Interview is designed to assess particular skills or Competencies as they are formally called. While traditional interviews involve random open questioning, Competency Based Interviews are more systematic, with each question targeting a specific skill or competency. Competency based interview questions are phrased in a very specific way designed to elicit how you behaved during a particular situation.
Competency Based Interview questions (or Behavioural Interview Questions as they are sometimes called) are very specific in terms of their structure. They require you to give an example which will demonstrate how proficient you are with a competency or skill. A question could be phrased such as 'Tell me about a time when you...' or 'Describe a situation when you...'
Not only is the right example along with the right key words vital but the way you structure your answer is essential to scoring maximum marks! So many candidates lose out on the job offer by giving poorly constructed competency based interview answers with weak examples. With InterviewGOLD for Competency Interviews you will learn not only how to structure your answers perfectly but you also have access to a Competency Dictionary online plus 500 Competency Interview Questions and all with expert answers so you will know what to say to succeed and win the job.
How confident are you of answering Competency Questions successfully?
Here are some sample Competency Based Interview questions taken from the InterviewGOLD system. They cover some very common competencies including communication, decision making and leadership. Take a moment to see how well you can answer them.
Question 1: Describe a situation where you used your communication skills to achieve a successful outcome against significant odds.

Question 3: Describe a situation you encountered recently where you had to gather data from various sources in order to resolve a problem. What process did you follow and what was the outcome?
Question 4: Give me an example of a time when you had to persuade your colleagues or fellow team members that your views were right in order to progress with a task or project.
