Recruiters identify the skills and competencies required to successfully perform a particular job. Candidates are then asked questions, in application forms and at interview, that assess their capability relative to these skills and competencies.
To prepare for this you need to reflect on the skills and competencies that you possess and be ready to articulate how you have developed them and how they relate to the employer’s requirements.
There are lots of opportunities for you to develop your skills, for example internships and Summer/ part-time jobs.
You could also do some voluntary work or participate in one of the development programmes offered by UCD Careers Network. Find out more below.
