Competency-based Application Forms
Understanding Competency-Based Application Forms:
Competency-Based Application Forms are unique job application documents that require candidates to provide specific examples demonstrating their skills, strengths and abilities in various competencies relevant to the job being applied for. These competencies can include problem-solving, leadership, technical expertise, teamworking, decision-making, planning, organizing, providing quality services and more.
Why they are challenging:
These forms are intricate and demanding. Candidates must provide detailed, real-life instances showcasing their competence in each skill area. Crafting compelling examples that precisely align with the given competencies, while adhering to word / space limits and formatting requirements, can be daunting. Moreover, many candidates struggle to translate their experiences effectively into the language and format required and demanded by these forms, so as to secure a Competency-based Interview.
