What to Know

Even the most qualified candidates get flustered and struggle to articulate their value during interviews or other professional engagements. The antidote? Deep familiarity with your own capabilities.

Your Capabilities include:

• Experience - What you've done and learned through practice
• Skills - Your developed abilities and competencies
• Knowledge - What you know from education, training, and experience

They capture the full picture of what you can do and contribute. When pressure hits, you need automatic access to your skills, knowledge, and the specific experiences that demonstrated them or helped you build them. This requires practice going back and forth until discussing your capabilities feels as natural as describing your weekend plans.
