Resilience

One of the 7 competencies that are measured and evaluated in EU competition candidates through the Assessment Centre's various exercises such as the Situational Competency-Based Interview (SCBI), Oral Presentation, or the Competency-Based Interview(CBI).

Resilience refers to the 'ability to cope under pressure' and 'maintain an effective performance under heavy workload'. It can also refer to the ability to handle 'organisational or administrative stress'.

The most common exams in which this competency is tested is the oral presentation and the competency-based interview. The most important aspect of resilience in the CBI is to demonstrate a specific event when stress management or the efficient handling of a frustration can be proven via a specific, unexpected event instead of talking about a prolonged period of heavy workload.
