HI

It is good that the prospective employer has clearly outlined the competencies that they are seeking. All you need to do is give examples of or demonstrate how you are already meeting those competencies in your current or past jobs.

My suggestion is that you put down the competency required followed by your comment / remark/ explanation. I am sharing 2 examples to help you understand my point.

Ability to reply in an appropriate manner to telephone and in-person inquiries

My immediate boss is on tour for almost 15 days a month and I attend to all inquiries in his absence. In case information has to sought from other departments, I coordinate/ source the information and revert to the client. In case I am unable to give a suitable reply I seek time and interact with my boss and take action as instructed by him/ her.

Ability to obtain services from other work units inside or outside the office for completion of tasks

In my current job each week I am required to collate the following reports by interaction with Sales/ Production / Accounts.Each month end I also prepare the mandatory submission to banks and tax authorities which are dispatched under my bosses signature.

I hope my examples above will enable you understand how to frame your response and submit the 1 page claim demonstrating your competence in meeting the clients specific competency listing.

Best Wishes
