Competency based questions are commonly used in job interviews to predict future job performance based on past behaviors. The questions require candidates to provide examples from their experience that demonstrate skills relevant to the job. Candidates should use the STAR technique to structure their answers by describing the situation, task, action they took, and resulting outcome. Proper use of examples and focusing on demonstrating one's skills and contributions can help effectively answer competency based questions.

Answering competency based questions
1. Page 1 of 3
Answering competency based questions
Competency based questions are commonly used for selection, and are deemed a fair
and objective method to gauge how a candidate will perform on the job. The
competency approach is based on the assumption that insight into an individual’s past
behaviour is the best way to predict their future behaviour. Your answers are
therefore used as an indicator of what you are like ‘in action’.
Competency questions require you to describe a situation to demonstrate that you
possess abilities which are considered integral to the role you’re applying for. These
questions are looking for evidence of skills that are used in the job and often start
with ‘Describe a situation where you had to ......’ or ‘Give an example when you ....’.
Instead of just saying you possess certain attributes and abilities you will need to give
evidence.
Use examples that demonstrate how you personally performed in the situation you
describe. Even when you are presented with a question on how you operate in a team
it is important to use ‘I’ and specifically focus on your involvement, rather than ‘we’.
Although it is important to reference your work-based responsibilities where possible,
examples can also be drawn from other experiences e.g. your educational or personal
background.
Techniques for answering competency questions
When faced with a competency question it can be difficult to establish exactly what
behaviors are being assessed and to structure your answer accordingly. However
there are several techniques designed to help ensure your answer addresses the
question and remain focused.
The STAR technique
A good way to structure your answer is by using the STAR acronym:
Situation: Describe the situation.
Task: Describe what task was required of you.
Action: Tell the interviewer what action you took.
Result: Conclude by describing the result of that action.
Use the STAR structure to provide background on the context of the task and what
you had to do, before moving on to describe what you actually did and what the
outcome of your behaviour was.
However, note that the bulk of your answer should focus on what you did, rather than
the background information.
Structure your answer like a mini-essay, using the ‘Situation’ and ‘Task’
sections as the introduction, where you describe the challenges you faced.
2. Page 2 of 3
The ‘Action’ forms the main body and should be the longest part of your
answer.
The ‘Result’ is the conclusion and like the introduction, should be quite short.
It will be helpful if you keep referring back to the competency question to ensure your
answer stays on track.

be asking you to demonstrate, and how you might go about doing so.
