[Fred]

no, that's different.

What are you talking about then?

isn't it the interview where they give you a situation and ask you how you dealt with it in the past?

 

[ALC]

kinda. for example, explain an instance where you had difficulties working in a group. stuff like that. and you have to answer in the format i mentioned above.

competency based i thought were questions based on your field

 

[Bezzy]

Nay, i finished my masters thankfully. It was tough working full time and doing my masters at the same time, so if you ever plan on doing that, you better be prepared mentally.

no way I will do a master next to my work. All though I would love to have a master degree
so now you work? what is your job?

No, competency based questions are ones that make you think on the fly. Judge your ability to come up with solutions to past problems.

 

[ALC]

oh ok. they don't sound too bad.

That is a competency based interview mate

The interviewer asks you these kind of questions so that you give them examples of how you illustrated a particular competency. For example the question above would be asked to measure your ability to work in teams. Every question is supposed to measure one or more competency.

Its not easy answering such questions, but i suggest you read tips on "how to answer competency based interview questions" next time. Most organizations that try and adopt sound HR practices use the competency based interview at some stage.

A lot of times I have to make something up. I would for the group question because I work well in groups and haven't really had a bad experience.

yeah, same here.

The star technique is one way to conduct(from the interviewers perspective) and/or to answer(from the interviewees perspective) competency based questions.

Theres no such thing as a star interview, star is a technique you use in structured interviews, aka behavioral interviews, aka competency based interviews.

So I've gotten this ridiculous office job for a few days. This is my first day. All I've done really is browse the internet and eat sweets. I think they might have forgotten I'm here.

I dated alot of girls who liked air hockey, i wonder what's so special about it? Is it the puck floating on air?
Questions Question...

Oh and Morning 0-3 All!

I've been in a ridiculous office job since July 2011...at first just as a summer job, now i'm using it to earn decent money before my masters...but the amount i earn compared to work actually done is stupid...i literally spend some shifts (9 hours) just watching series on my computer!!

Yeah, I was here before for around 6 months in 2011. This time might turn into more than a few days as well, we'll see. If it does, I'm going to need to bring in some series or install Football Manager to pass the time.

I'm still trying to figure out the physics if it is possible to crap in the mouths of Robin Van Poesje and Pitbull at the same time without first turning them into a human centipede...

 

[The Curr]

I've done maybe half an hour's work all day and I'll be going home in about 45 minutes. This is hilarious.
