What is Professional Competency?
How is it Achieved?
How is it important to future career goals?
Competence sets a foundation in school and work. Different skills set you apart, and make
you more of a better candidate for future career opportunities and accolades. Depending
on the job structure, these same competencies will also affect your financial benefits.
When going for a new job references may asked to be provided. These speak to the
characteristics of that person; which can make or break your opportunity in starting a new
career as well. These capabilities are ones that develop overtime through hard work,
dedication, trial, tribulations and being open minded.
