SECTION 3: ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA / QUALIFICATIONS Cork County Council may, following the interview process, form three panels for the post of Staff Officer from which future vacancies may be filled. SECTION 4: COMPETENCIES A competency-based application form requires you to describe some of your personal achievements to date that demonstrate certain competencies (necessary skills and qualities) required for the position for which you are applying. For each competency, you are given a description of a skill or quality. You are then asked to describe a situation, from your own experience, which you think is the best example of what you have done that demonstrates this skill or quality. It is essential that you describe how you demonstrated the skill or quality in question. Therefore, compose your replies carefully in this section and structure your responses so that you provide specific information about what you have done. For example, do not simply say that "X was successful." Instead, describe exactly what you did and how you demonstrated the skill or quality. For each example, please include the following: a. The nature of the task, problem, or objective. b. What you actually did and how you demonstrated the skill or quality (and, where appropriate, the date you demonstrated it). c. The outcome or result of the situation and your estimate of the proportion of credit you can claim for the outcome. The information you present in your application may form part of a shortlisting process and may also be used to help structure your interview, should you be invited to one. A shortlisting process may be applied based on two or more of the competencies and on other information you provide in your application form. Please note that, should you be called to interview, the board may look for additional examples of where you demonstrated the knowledge, experience, skills, and competencies required for this post. You should therefore think of a number of examples demonstrating each of the required skills. SECTION 5: TENURE The position is permanent and full-time. The post is pensionable. Panels may be formed to fill this position and future vacancies for Administrative Officer that may arise during the lifetime of the panels.
