Competency based interviews are intended to get best from you, candidate, whilst also fulfilling needs of organisation to get very best person for job. There are some easy steps to make most of yourself and have a much better chance of success.

The following are five secrets to being perfect employee everyone wants:

1. Respect. Respect others with whom you work everyday. What is respect? Respect comes in many different forms. The following are just a few examples: * Respect fellow employees as individuals with unique ideas and thoughts that may be different from yours. This diversity of ideas may seem a little different at first, but that is how we produce better solutions. “Group think” often gets you nowhere fast. Embrace diversity of thought so that you are open minded for better solutions. * Respect fellow employees by greeting them in morning. Many times I hear from employees who say that certain co- workers make it unpleasant in office because they seldom say “Good Morning” or “Hello,” don’t smile, and are just plain nasty to fellow co-workers. Take time to give a pleasant greeting to your co-workers even when you may be having a difficult time. You will be known as someone who is pleasant to work with, and guess what; more opportunities will come your way. Also, you can break out of a bad mood and become more productive at work if you are pleasant to others. * Respect work of others. Appreciate time and efforts of co-workers and let them know. You may not agree on final product, but you can respect time and effort put into project. * Respect others by practicing Golden Rule…well sort of. The Golden Rule states “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Well, there are many people, because of their poor self-esteem, who like to be “dumped on” emotionally and physically. If we follow Golden Rule, does that mean that these same people should “dump on” their fellow co-workers? Of course not! Treat your co- workers with utmost respect and appreciation they deserve. 2. Knowledge. Knowledge is key. The workplace is constantly changing. Even look of change is changing. Also, change is happening faster and faster. Just look around you in society, work, and technology. The only way to master change is to gain knowledge to be ahead of change.
