Public Sector / Government job opportunities are selecting, recruiting and promoting candidates at interview primarily based on the key skills i.e., competencies identified to be critical to carry out the job / role successfully. Selection for Interview is based you meeting the essential requirements of the role with respect to your education, qualifications and work experience. If there are many candidates that meet this criteria, then they look at your competency-based examples as a screening process, so as to invite the best candidates for Interview. Sometimes, they use your competency-based examples as part of the screening process too. Their questioning (can you demonstrate?) is based on the Competency-based Application Form competency title, its key criteria and of course the content of your examples. During and after the Competency-based Interview, they score each candidate out of 50 or 100 for example and the candidate with the highest score is offered the role and / or is placed No. 1 on The Panel and the candidate with the second highest score is place No. 2 and so on. They have seven (7) approaches to their questions and will / could ask you to:

1. Demonstrate your understanding of the Competency
2. Share your example in your Competency-based Application Form
3. Share a different example to the one written in your Competency-based Application Form
4. Probe you on the contents of your example in the Competency-based Application Form
5. Address scenario-based questions requiring an example
6. Get technical i.e., questions based on the technical side of the job (product, services, equipment, processes, people)
