Structured Interview Competencies

The employer identifies the competencies (skills, abilities and experience) required for the role.

They design the questions to test whether the candidate has these competencies. The questions are often phrased, "tell us about a time when."

How To Handle Them

Review the job description / advert.

Identify the types of skills, abilities and experience required for the role. (This may need lateral thinking).

Think of examples in your career where you have demonstrated these. It may help to make notes.

This means you'll be well prepared for any competency-style question they ask.
