Hey guys :)

I used to find it helpful to write down all my extracurriculars/answers to competency questions, which I could then review before telephone, video and face to face interviews.

If you want to do the same, we created a ready-made PDF for you to use. You can access it here:

This is going to be great for keeping my competencies organised, I always seem to run out of examples! Did you just use these as notes or did you have them open when you did your video interviews and phone interviews??
