How do you tell about your competencies when applying for a job?

I believe I can solve problems and do the job in this advertised post. I have enough knowledge and skills which I know will be my advantages towards others. I have pleasant disposition, solid values and good mental attitude towards changes and challenges.

You would prepare by making a list of your "key competencies." These are your special skills. Then make a list of the skills required in the job description of the job you are applying for. Try to match your job skills to the required skills of the job. For each pair of skills that match or almost match, you should explain how you will use your skill to meet a requirement of the job. For example, if you have a good speaking voice and you are applying for a job as a receptionist, you might say that your clear speech will help you greet customers and answer telephones.

Key competencies are functional skills that can be transferred from one job to another. Examples of key competencies, as they relate to the secretary position could include: organized, time management skills (a subset of organization), functional reading and writing skills, interpersonal skills, ability to receive and relay messages

1) Realize that you're probably talking to a knob in HR. "Key competencies" is truly a taste of the worst in Human Resource drivel.

2) 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!

What the person is asking is for you to describe how your skill sets (what you're good at) fit with the job or position for which you are applying. For example, if you're applying for a managerial position, core competencies that would be important to have and describe are be leadership, judgement, coaching, planning and organizing, and potentially performance management if you will be managing people. If you're applying as a delivery boy for a sub shop, a good sense of direction, knowledge of the area, phone skills,, cash handling, and being a conscientious driver are some the core competencies you would need to possess.

In a job interview, you are looking to let them know what skills you have that would fit into the tasks that the company is hiring for. Do your research into their business and try to work some of these out before the interview, so you know generally what to say.

When someone is looking for a job, they should have experience. When a person is skilled in the job and the position, it is more likely that they will be hired.
