Relating key competencies

They're asking how your experience relates to the job for which you are applying. A good place to start? Make a list of the requirements for the job. Circle any that apply to you. What skills do you have that apply to the position? What experience do you have that will help the company if they hire you? Give at least one example. That's how YOU relate to the job.

Here are suggestions for answering the interview question:


As an individual, I have confidence in my leadership and interpersonal skill. My ability to produce innovative and concepts of management, work as a team player, and meet deadlines, together with my attention to detail, have contributed to my successes in management planning. I have performed direct work with my oversea team to run projects and problem solving. I am an effective organizer and planner. My outgoing and friendly nature allows me to interact well with other staff members at all levels and I am able to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical persons.

I am diligent, very expeditious. I have good listening, communication and organizational skills, I can be work as a good team player. My professional qualification and experiance is 100% right according to the position and I am positive that I will give it up develop.

Realize that you're probably talking to a knob in HR. "Key competencies" is truly a taste of the worst in Human Resource drivel. Just tell them why you think your skills match the requirements. That's all. Is it a stupid way to ask it? Yes it is. Welcome to the world of interviewing!

Posting you previous experience and marketing it very well goes a long way in fetching the job for you , you have to just strike the right chord in making the employer believe that choosing you must be the right decision .
Alos one thing that i worry about is that some of my friends have done call center jibs and when they move to IT field , there call center experience wont count ? What is the advice for them ?
