Let's talk about competency questions: what to expect

Competency-based questions

These are common practice in job interviews - they will typically ask you to share an example, that will demonstrate a skill or behaviour that is relevant to the job opportunity.

These questions can cover a varied range of topics depending on the position, including things like teamwork, self-motivation, communication, decision making, leadership, problem solving, dealing with conflict, mentoring others, budget management, client management, and so on.
