We distinguish between personal, social and professional competencies. The professional ones are most important when writing applications.
Professional competencies covers the specialist knowledge you have from your studies and job in a STEM industry.
Personal competencies can be curiosity and creativity.
Social competencies include collaborative skills, presentation skills and coordination skills. But you wont land a job interview because you think creatively, but because of the skills you are able to solve.
You get called to interviews because you represent a professional skillset of value to the company. That is why your focus needs to be on your professional competencies.
We know from experience that those are the ones IDA members often forget to put on the table.
If you're a graduate member of IDA, our career consultants can give you feedback of you are looking for a job or looking to work strategically with your competencies in your current one.
We often include your competency profile in our career counselling sessions - either as preparation or to determine the next step in your professional development.
You can either fill out the competency profile, which will help you put your competencies into words, or try the competency coach (In Danish).
