Identify the competencies that are essential, important, or peripheral to your current professional position. You can also complete this with reference to a position you desire in the future.
- Essential competencies are necessary to the job as defined by the job duties and daily activities.
- Important competencies are helpful and valuable to completing daily activities, but would not be
minimum requirements. - Peripheral competencies might be valuable, but they are not regularly or directly used in daily activities
to fulfill the responsibilities of the job.
Once you have identified the core competencies that are essential, important, or peripheral to the position, take time to complete a the Core Competencies Self-Assessment. You can complete the self-assessment for all competencies, or for only those which are essential or important to a position.
