This book was immensely helpful to me! After my first two years as a 14, I created an excel sheet and listed out each ECQ and sub-competency. I then started plotting examples under each. It helped me to see which ECQs and sub-competencies I needed to work. For me, it showed that I needed more experience in leading change and building coalitions. So I used my “extra capacity” to volunteer for organizational stewardship activities that got me the experiences I needed. Also, your examples shouldn’t be older than 5-7 years. Hope this all helps.

+1. I used the same book. It was immensely helpful. I also went through a similar exercise when I was a 14 it helped determine the best type of 15 job I should take. I realized I needed business acumen and change management. I applied for several 15 jobs. Got 3 offers, but took the job with an organization that was in transition. I spent 4 years as a 15. That entire time I got ample opportunities to build all of my ECQs, but the most examples were suited for leading change, results, and business acumen. I applied for two SES jobs. My first app I got an interview, but did not get the job. The second SES job I applied for I got. Been in the job for 5 years now and pretty happy. [/quote]
