​When thinking of examples, you may find that some fit into more than one competency (for example, a situation where you took a decision showed the competencies of decision making, strategic thinking, and leadership). It is acceptable to use the same example for more than one competency if you can justify it and explain your answer in more detail in relation to the competency being explored.

As with all aspects of interview preparation, make sure you make a note of these examples and which competencies they relate to, and then practice to ensure you remember on cue in an interview. Your notes will be useful for future interviews if you don’t get the position in your first interview.
