As an interview coach, I often get quizzed by candidates who are anxious at the thought of competency-based or behavioural interviews. “Why are competency-based interviews important?” “How do you prepare for them?” “How do you answer competency-based questions?” What competencies might I get asked? The questions go on and on!

When it comes to preparing for the interview questions, the first thing to put in your toolkit, should be confidently talking through your CV or career history!

With so many interviewers kicking the session off by asking candidates to give an overview of their career to date, or to talk through their CV, you’d be crazy to not be ready for it!
