The ability to manage self and/or others, and

resources including time and surrounding

circumstances to reach a specific goal

Behavioural indicators include:-

Planning

Accurately estimate time and effort required to

complete a task.

Identify and organise systems and required

resources.

Organise personal time to carry out responsibilities.

Maintain adequate preparation time for scheduled

meetings/deadlines.

Develop schedules and timetables with clear,

specific milestones and deadlines.

Establish how to measure results and milestones

for self.

Prioritising

Identify critical tasks.

Arrange tasks in a logical order.

Establish priorities systematically, differentiating

between urgent, important, and unimportant tasks.

Use a “to do” list, task plan, or similar planning

devices to note action plans, deadlines, etc.

Monitor & adjust priorities and/or eliminate tasks on

an on-going basis.

Do I Have These Skills?

You’ll need to be able to prove to employers that you

actually have the skills they want for the job. In

applications and interviews they will ask

‘competency questions’ that begin with phrases

such as ‘tell me a time when …………. ‘ or ‘give me

an example of ………….. ‘ Your answers are the

evidence that you have what it takes.

To find out how well developed your skills are

already you could try this simple exercise:

Rate yourself on each of the behaviours:

1 = I do this very well. I am consistent and

successful in it

2 = I am good at this. With some practice I can

make it perfect!

3 = I am getting better, but still need to work on this

a bit more.

4 = I am not particularly good at this – yet!

Revisit this exercise several times through your

years of study – you’ll want to have as many skills

as possible at 1 and 2 before you apply for graduate

jobs.

And, think about all the life situations you’ve been in

– university, work, leisure, travel, social – and

identify incidents and examples from them that

show that you have already used the skill.
