Competencies ? Two questions we must ask

ourselves in order to define & develop our own
job competencies -- 1.What must I know ? 2.What must I be able to do
to perform my job right every time?
Your job ,then, consist of specific must knows
( refer to the knowledge you need to perform your
job) and must dos ( refer to the skills required
by your job)

Four

key points to define individual job

Competencies as you begin your personal quest
for competence .
1.most job requires a person to be competent in
approximately 32 knowledge & skill areas.
2.Competence is more than a diploma, degree, or
certificate. for example the MBBS,MD degree
holder does not necessarily ensure that he/she is
competent physician. ie Competence is always
demonstrated by successful job performance.

Competence:
3.Be

Patient! No one is, or ever could be ,totally

competent in everything.e.g Your doctor may refer
you to a hospital for diagnostic tests which require
special equipments & skill . So like your doctor ,
dont forget to ask for help if you find that you donot
have the knowledge or skill to perform the job right
first time.

4.

Develop competence through Education &

Training.Education help us to develop must
knows & Training develops must dos necessary
to successfully perform our jobs.

Competence:
Develop

competence through on-the-job

experience.
On-the-job experience gives us opportunity to
demonstrate our job competence in an actual work
situation.
I hear & I forget , I see & I remember, I do & I
understand.
So , it is important to properly use your education
& training , and your on-the-job experience to
demonstrate your job competence.
