Competency based job interviews - Goldminer - 25-02-2007
Hi,
Anyone have any experience of these interviews and any tips on how to get through one? I had one a few weeks ago and failed but have another next week and from what I can see from the people who passed the first one then lies and deceipt and the "talking up" of minor experiences seems to be the order of the day in getting through. I'm thinking of using the scattergun approach this time like that boring geeza from " Vicar of Dibley" and talking nonstop in the hope that I hit on the answer thay are looking for.

Yep We have recently done just that, what you need to do is to get a list of the competencies, then compile a list of possible questions and then prepare answers that illustrate how you have achieved those competencies in your day to day workplace. What sort of field do you work in?

The competencies are Developing self and others, Customer service orientation and Drive to achieve results. They are also going to assess my skills, knowledge and experience on People Management, Managing a team to deliver work against targets and Managing a Team to deliver customer service.
I've done as you said and prepared a load of examples to possible questions but its so easy to misinterpret a question and miss what they are looking for.

Well I failed the role play (never was much of an actor) but they've readvertised externally and I reapplied and now have another interview to look forward too!

Good luck GM, after going to 3 of these competency based interviews and failing, I used some of the websites myself and have passed an interview (role play included). I now start as the new night services manager next month. Persistence does pay sometimes
