The more difficult it is, the more we return to the basics.
The more urgent it is, the more you have to think it through to the end.

How to pass the competency assessment, the final hurdle for promotion and employment at civil servants, public institutions, and corporations!

The author of "The Master's Reporting Method" clearly explains how to utilize your abilities and how to utilize abilities by evaluation technique.

“I know what a competency assessment is, but when it comes to actually preparing for it, I can’t quite get a feel for it.”
This is what people preparing for competency assessments say most often.
As the importance of competency assessments increases, including their adoption in national civil service promotion evaluations for managers and above, as well as in civil service and public institution recruitment exams, the urgency of those preparing for them is growing.
But it's not easy to find a guide that breaks straight.


There are two main reasons why it is difficult to prepare for competency assessments.
This is because the types of competency assessments vary by organization and company, and individual abilities vary greatly.
Even if you look at a specific organization's competency assessment case or someone's success story, it's not easy to make it completely 'your own.'


Accordingly, Park Jong-pil, author of “The Expert’s Reporting Method,” has returned with “The Expert’s Way to Deal with Competency Assessment.”


He advises, “Competency assessment can be done by weaving together your thoughts, through the other person’s eyes, with your own story, and in a way that is different from others.”
He explains the method as the '3-step method of demonstrating competence', and in this book, he presents specific methods of demonstrating competence according to six evaluation techniques.

The author graduated from the Department of History at Korea University and received a master's degree in public administration from Yonsei University and the University of Birmingham in the UK.
After passing the 38th Higher Civil Service Examination in 1994, he has worked at the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and after serving as the head of the Gangwon Regional Office and the chairman of the Gyeongbuk Regional Labor Relations Committee, he is currently serving as the Director of the Employment, Food and Drug Policy Bureau at the Office for Government Policy Coordination.

He is recognized for his outstanding skills in planning and reporting, having been the longest-serving Planning and Finance Officer at the Ministry of Employment and Labor for the past 20 years.
Therefore, he is called a ‘reporting expert’ among civil servants, and he has written a book titled ‘Reporting Methods of an Expert’.


Competence is not knowledge or skills in a specific field, but rather the 'power to solve a task or problem.'
Therefore, 'competency assessment' is a method of setting up a simulation task that frequently occurs in an organization and having multiple people evaluate the competencies that an individual demonstrates in the process of resolving the task.


According to the authors, organizations want to see three competencies through the competency assessment process:
That is, the ability to organize thoughts, the ability to communicate with others, and the extra ability, namely the ability to tell stories.
Rather than gathering and listing existing information, we want to see the ability to group it together and create new meaning, or a story.


These abilities soon become a measure of how well members can solve problems that arise in the organization.
Accordingly, the author suggests a 'three-step method for demonstrating one's abilities' and advises practicing it to properly demonstrate one's abilities.


Presentation of specific strategies, including principles for writing neat sentences, presentation principles for engaging evaluators, and discussion principles for winning over opponents.

The book is largely divided into two parts, Part 1 and Part 2, and a special lecture.
Part 1 introduces the ‘3-step method of demonstrating competence.’
Here, he emphasizes understanding the essence of the problem (organizing thinking ability), seeing it through the eyes of the evaluator (communication ability), and adding a story (plus alpha ability).
The author suggests that practicing the three steps of the competency development method is effective when time is tight and work is busy, making it difficult to make time.


In Part 2, we will learn strategies for each evaluation technique based on the competency demonstration method of Part 1.
We provide specific strategies for each assessment technique, including report writing, oral presentations, current affairs processing, group discussions, role-playing, and competency/NCS-based interviews.

For example, when writing a report, it provides '5 principles for writing neat sentences', when giving an oral presentation, it provides '3 principles for presenting to engage the evaluator', when handling current issues, it provides '4 steps for analyzing current issues', and when evaluating group discussions, it provides '4 principles for discussing to make the other person take your side'.
Each strategy is explained by comparing the thoughts of a 'novice' and a 'master' to help understanding.


At the end of the book, there is a special lecture by the author.
This section contains tips on how to prepare for competency assessments in your daily life.
To develop basic skills, we explain to readers how to read newspaper editorials in pieces and how to copy and rewrite reports written by others, using examples.


This book may not be suitable for readers who simply want to acquire 'skills'.
Because there is little mention of skills.
Instead, it has the advantage of introducing specific and realistic ways to organize your thoughts.
This book suggests a path closer to 'moderateness' rather than 'tricks'.


This book shows you not just a 'taste', but a real 'taste'.
I recommend this book to readers who want to learn the fundamentals so they won't be shaken when faced with any competency assessment.
