Review wording with someone outside the hiring team.
Work through the task using your own situation. Note what you can already demonstrate and what you still need to check. If an instruction in the vacancy or your workplace changes the approach, use that instruction.
A practical example
Describing a need to communicate clearly is more precise than asking for a particular personality stereotype.
This is an illustration, not a claim about your experience. Replace it with an example you can support, and explain the details in your own words.
Connect decisions to the work
A clear process makes the evidence easier to evaluate and the expectations easier to understand. Confirm the actual role conditions with the responsible team. Employment rules vary by jurisdiction; this is process guidance, not a legal template.
- Agree criteria before reviewing people.
- Use proportionate tasks and clear instructions.
- Record evidence and communicate the next stage.
