A step‑by‑step guide for preparing smarter, stronger job applications
Thinking about applying for a role? Here's a practical, evidence‑based tool to help you understand your strengths and prepare for your next application.
Before you write a CV or start answering application questions, it’s worth taking a step back. The strongest candidates are the ones who understand what the role requires, can clearly demonstrate their capability, and have real examples ready to go.
Our Competency Self‑Assessment Workbook gives you a structured way to reflect on your skills, identify where your strengths align, and prepare the evidence you’ll need for a confident application. It’s grounded in I/O psychology and designed to help you make informed decisions about whether a role is the right fit.
You’ll learn about analysing a job advertisement and job description - understanding the competencies that matter most, and rate yourself honestly using a simple 1–5 guide. You’ll also capture specific examples you can use in written questions, interviews, and any work‑related testing — because strong applications are built on clear, specific evidence, not general statements.
Whether you’re early in your career, changing direction, or simply wanting to present yourself more confidently, this workbook gives you a solid foundation for your next step.

What our clients say
Interview coaching
I had one-on-one interview coaching with Lynne Allison while preparing for a senior leadership role, and found it incredibly valuable. She helped me build confidence and clearly articulate my strengths so I could put my best foot forward in interviews. Lynne is very people-centred, approachable, and genuinely warm, which made the process both supportive and empowering. I would highly recommend her coaching to anyone wanting to feel confident and well prepared for an interview. I got the job too!

Personality profile
After completing my psychometric assessment, Lynne took me through a detailed and thoughtful debrief. I found the results to be incredibly accurate in capturing my personality traits and strengths. The leadership report, in particular, helped me clearly see where my strengths lie and which areas I need to be more aware of as I continue to develop as a leader. It was insightful, empowering, and genuinely useful.
