Competency Based Job Interview

In a banking job interview, most of the questions would be competency based and are often times behavioral in nature.

Interviewers would usually start with questions like “Can you give an instance where…” and “Tell me about a time when you…” This will give the interviewer the chance to evaluate the applicant’s skills on the given scenario.

To answer these, avoid inventing answers and do not lie. Provide detailed description of the scenario that would showcase your strengths. Mention results. Tackle the problem but give emphasis on the steps that you took to solve the issue. Emphasize on your strengths.
