A list of puns related to "Competency based recruitment"
I've been asked to create a competency based assessment for my organization as part of the process in promoting employees into a retail manager role. It's going to be used in combination with a knowledge based assessment.
I've never created a competency based assessment before, does anyone have any good examples of this? or at least can point in toward some resources that will help with this?
Thanks!
So have landed an interview for above role and have been advised its a competency based interview. Has anyone any tips for these type of interviews and what sort of questions could arise. I know everyone says they hate interviews, but I really do as I don't know if I'm talking too much, too little and seem to morph into someone else and come.out jf it sounding like a right wally! Any tips greatly appreciated.
I know of some such as Capella, SNHU and North Arizona University, however I was wondering if there are any competency based programs in Florida tho. Thanks
Are there any other teacher-parents on here who have no idea how to interpret your child's competency-based scores and report card? I'm so embarrassed that I can't figure out whether I should be providing help to my son when he gets a 2 out of 4 or a "progressing towards competency". If he's progressing, is he on the right track? I've asked his teachers over the years and it seems like the answer has varied from year to year and from teacher to teacher. Plus his report card is five pages long! I'm a public school teacher (in a school with traditional grades and no competency-based grading system) and I struggle to make meaning out of his scores and report card comments. Imagine how a non-teacher feels! Is there anyone else out there in my situation? Anyone else feel like the competency-based approach doesn't translate well to a report card or grading system?
Could someone tell what they are because im very confused on what they actually are
I have an interview tomorrow and am feeling very unmotivated/disillusioned in my preparation. I would love to hear your tips/tricks for preparing for interviews with competency-based questions? Aside from writing my STAR examples down and reading them to myself until I feel comfortable with the content, I'm at a bit of a loss...
Edit: thanks everyone for their support, yesterday’s interview went well and I have my second/final interview tomorrow! 🤞🤞🤞
Another edit: I got the job! Thanks again for your responses 🥰
I've been applying for internships and a lot of them have competency based questions like "tell us about a time when you did X" and you have to use the STAR technique to structure your answer. I'm a 2nd year student so the experiences I have are basically just doing group work for my course, some volunteering I did in sixth form, online tutoring which I did in the first lockdown, a christmas temporary retail job I had in sixth form, and starting and running a club in sixth form. I thought that was fairly standard experience but sometimes I struggle to think of examples for competency based questions. Obviously I always try my best and try to pick the best thing I can from the experiences I've done but sometimes I feel that I don't really have anything appropriate.
For example I did a video interview recently (and got rejected from the internship today lol) and one of the questions was "tell us about a time when you used information and insights to solve a problem". You had 2 minutes to prepare and 3 minutes to answer, iirc. The question was also divided into sub questions to help you structure your answer, I guess a bit like STAR. Anyway I really couldn't think of an answer for this question as it seemed so specific. Like if they just said "tell us about a time you solved a problem" I'm sure I could think of an answer, but I don't know when I've had to use information and insights. Especially since I haven't had a office type of job before. I'm not really sure what they're looking for. Can anyone give an example that you could use for this question please? I want to learn from my mistakes for next time. And does anyone have any general advice for answering competency based questions? Thank you 🤗
Genuinely curious as to who you guys think are competent from the glorified crew. I think Silvio and Patsy are at the top, with very minimal fuck ups (the Christopher Columbus episode is really the only one I can think of where they got overly emotional to the detriment of the business).
Christopher was good at killing people (nose =natural iron sight), but not much else. He was also overly emotional and so high on skag he wouldn’t know if Ralph was wearing his mother’s muff on his head. He’s probably closer to the bottom.
Paulie is a poor earner and fucks up simple money collections, and was also a snake while also lacking the intelligence to be cunning. He’s definitely a low ranker.
Ralph and Vito were great at making money, but their personalities/“quirks” cause so many issues. Think they’re somewhere in the middle? Idk, what do you guys think?
One thing I love about the show is how it makes the mobsters look like bumbling idiots a lot of the time, with their failures contributing a lot to Tony’s volatile mental state.
I stumbled upon TESDA's website and got so interested in one of the training programs they offer but I'm not sure if ADMU allows its students to enrol in such.
Does anyone have any advice on competency based job interviews for autistic people?
I have an interview in a few days for a promotion to lead the team I'm currently part of. I've been with the company for nearly 13 years and all of those years are relevant experience - the work I did in the first 7 years basically led to the creation of the team I've worked in the last 6 years and that I'm interviewing to lead.
So I'm reasonably confident I am the right person for the job and have plenty of relevant experience. I've made notes covering all this stuff and I'm confident I can sell myself for the first part of the interview ("tell us about yourself", discussion of the business plan for the next 5 years etc)
The rest of the interview is going to be competency based though, so I've been having an absolute nightmare the last few days trying to second guess what kind of competencies they're looking for and what they might ask, then trying to come up with good stories from my past experience to illustrate those competencies.
I feel like this is something that is very difficult for autistic folks, and there is some evidence that those types of interviews discriminate against neuroatypical people. But I don't have have formal diagnosis, and there isn't really time to try to argue for a different style of interview.
I have four examples broken down using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Response) and will try to come up with a fifth. Between those examples I'm hoping I will be able to spin some BS to illustrate evidence of most of the competencies they might ask for, but I feel like some of them will seem like a bit of a stretch or a bit weak :/
It would really suck if someone less suited to the role gets it just because they're better at interviewing than me :/
Just wondered if anyone here has been in a similar situation and has any tips or advice, or just reassurance!
What is a competency-based interview?
Also known as structured, behavioural or situational interviews they are designed to test one or more skills or competencies. The interviewer has a list of set questions, each focusing on a specific skill, and your answers will be compared against pre-determined criteria and marked accordingly.
Working on the principle that past behaviour is the best indicator of future performance, competency interviews can be used by employers across all sectors but are particularly favoured by large graduate recruiters, who may use them as part of an assessment centre.
They differ from normal or unstructured interviews, which tend to be more informal. In unstructured interviews recruiters often ask a set of random, open-ended questions relevant to the job, such as 'what can you do for the company?' and 'why did you apply for the job?' to get an overall impression of who you are. A competency-based interview is more systematic and each question targets a skill needed for the job.
Key competencies regularly sought after by employers include:
Competency-based interview questions
Questions asked during a competency-based interview aim to test a variety of skills and you'll need to answer in the context of actual events. The skills tested will depend largely on the job you're interviewing for and the sector you'll be working in.
Expect questions opening with 'Tell us about a time when you…', 'Give an example of…' or 'Describe how you…' Competency questions you may be asked at interview include:
I’ve only ever had interviews in which they ask the typical questions such as “what are your strengths/weaknesses”, “why do you want to work here” etc etc
How do I prepare myself for a competency based interview for a finance role?
Hi everyone,
I'm a year into my motion graphics career, I've worked on quite a few freelance jobs and I'm currently working regularly part time on commercial social media videos.
Next week I have an interview with one of my dream companies and I thought I'd ask people here for advice and what questions to expect. It'll only be thirty minutes long, and I suppose I'm anxious that I'll come across as not knowing my stuff.
I feel like I've a strong understanding of the program but I'm always finding new features and it'd be mortifying to be asked about something simple I've never heard about.
So what is everyone's go to feature of aftereffects? What knowledge do you all use on a daily basis? What tutorials should everyone check out if they want to work in aftereffects?
Any help would go a long way, I don't expect to get the job this time around but it's all good practice.
I have compiled a list of other fully accredited universities that offer competency based education. Some of these universities accept international students unlike WGU. The fees are for undergraduate programs. I hope you find it useful.
Name / period / price
University of Maine Presque Isle - 8 weeks - $1400
University of Wisconsin Flex - 12 weeks - $2250 - "we will make every effort to award as much credit as possible"
Northern Arizona University - 6 months - $3000 - Transfer up to 90 credit hours(75%)
Southern New Hampshire University - $320 Per Credit Hour, $38,400 in total, SNHU accepts up to 90(75%) transfer credits toward your bachelor's – meaning you could pay as little as $9,600
Purdue University Global(ExcelTrack) - 10 weeks - $2500 - You can apply credits you earned at prior institutions toward up to 75% of your undergraduate degree.
I applied more than a year ago, after about 10 months of no action, I was asked to do 2 stages of tests, a multiple choice and then a written test. Now, about 1 year and 2 months since I applied they asked me for a competency based interview. Is this the final stage? How many are usually shortlisted for this stage, and more importantly for me, how many more months (or years) will I have to wait for them to decide. I have to consider accepting a grad school offer and not sure if I should wait it out.

What competency based or accelerated online colleges are there?
