00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:08.400
Competency-based interviews are a type of structured interview 

00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:11.900
featuring questions designed to determine the candidate’s ability 

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.900
to handle specific situations on-the-job. 

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.500
These questions generally require the candidate 

00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:21.900
to demonstrate their leadership and technical skills 

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.900
by providing examples of situations they have faced in the past

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.900
and what they did in those situations.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.900
When interviewers ask competency-based questions, 

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.400
they are looking for answers that demonstrate a candidate can deal with 

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:40.000
the challenges of the job, work well with others, 

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.500
and use their skills and experience effectively.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.200
Examples of competency-based questions are; 

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:49.500
“Tell me about a time when you…”, 

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.400
“What specific activities do you undertake when….”,

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:56.000
or “How do you ensure that…” 

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:00.900
