'Core competencies' poll
Jul. 13th, 2011 07:47 amI got this from some article whose name I forgot. I was wondering 'core competencies' were, really. So, I asked the search engine, and this was one of the answers.
I made a whole series of questions from that article. If I can find it, I can post it as a poll. I may make a poll asking if any of these 'core competencies' play any role in your job. Not just paying full-time gigs, but part-time, volunteering, and any long-term projects involving other people. Like say, marriages, house ownership, or parenting :).
It is also normal to feel that I fit almost none of these standards, right?
