Hi there,
I'm currently in the process of applying for a variety of CS jobs and I've become a little stuck on the competencies, most likely due to my previous poor examples used which has knocked my confidence (the testing was 86%, 84% & 89%), and I'm looking for advice on how to ensure that I match against the grading as well as possible.
The most recent application I made, a couple of months ago, the competency I was asked to complete was 'Leading & communication' and previously they were; 'Managing a quality service' and 'Making effective decisions'.
The latter two, I was successful in writing and got an interview (didn't succeed at interview), however the most recent one I was not and scored rather low on the competency, it was a '2 - Minimal Demonstration' even though I believed I covered both EO & HEO expectations in great detail (well as much detail as 250 words allows) as I based it off a training session I had to give which I presume, in hindsight, it was the wrong situation to use.
I appear to be coming across:
• Building capability for all
• Changing and improving
• Collaborating and partnering
• Delivering at pace
• Leading and communicating
• Seeing the big picture
I believe I have examples for all of them however after the recent confidence knock I'm looking for advice on how I can match accurately against the 1 to 7 mark scheme to ensure I get into an interview. I'm going to adapt 'Managing a quality service' and 'Making effective decisions' as I presume I can reuse previous competency examples?
Any advice or links to in-depth examples/help would be much appreciated
