Employers using competency based interviews challenge candidates to describe details of specific situations in their experience. Interviewers will often deeply probe into a certain subject, asking follow-up questions and leading the discussion to learn if a candidate has the traits they are looking for in an employee. The insights gained from this approach far exceed what can be learnt in a traditional interview. A second benefit – all candidates in a behavioural interview are asked the same questions, making it easier to decide between candidates at the final round.
For a candidate, there are many opportunities to master this interview style. Remember, the whole purpose of the competency based interview is to allow you to demonstrate you have the skills and traits (competencies), that they need in the position. But what should you be trying to demonstrate? How can you gain insight into what the interviewer is looking for?
