Competency #1—
Individual
Responsibility
Along with evaluating your accomplishments and how you work in
a team environment (see Chapter 10 for team-oriented competency-
based questions), interviewers will view your individual characteristics—
those traits that demonstrate who you are, what your ambitions are, and
how you manage work situations on your own. Specifically, interviewers
will closely inspect the following core competencies that pertain to indi-
vidual responsibility: decisiveness, independence, flexibility, and career goals.
Decisiveness
Taking a decisive approach when managing organizational issues demon-
strates your assurance in your ability to make the right decisions. Inter-
viewers will evaluate your self-confidence and observe how that translates
to your work life.
Key Behaviors and Career Values
A. Thoughtful. Attentive to surroundings, circumstances, and the people at work
(i.e., colleagues, business associates, vendors, and clients) in order to make consci-
entious decisions.
