Example Interview answers

People competencies are often weighted especially
highly by organisations’ selection processes.
References, CV and track record will say a lot about
your ‘task’ and ‘thought’ competencies without
revealing much about your style when it comes to
working with and managing people. For this reason
you can expect a tough interview to focus strongly
on this aspect of your performance. In this chapter
we will:

n remind you how to use the CaR model to frame
your answers

n cover how to recognise people-based questions

n show you how to prepare examples of your
people skills

n give you a range of examples of poor and better
answers to help you prepare for the ‘people’
skills part of a competency-based interview.
