Interviews

We conduct Competency-based interviews. Competency-based interviews use questions which aim to find out how you have used specific skills in your previous experience and how you approach problems, tasks, and challenges. These interviews aim to uncover your past performance by asking open-ended questions (e.g., Tell us about a time...). Each question helps the interviewer learn about your past performance in a key skill area critical to success in the position for which you are interviewing.

As you prepare to answer each question, consider answering the following components:
