How do you answer 'How would you relate your key competencies to this position' you?

• Answer:

  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
