Skills-based hiring asks candidates to show how they work, not only where they have worked. Before an interview, pick three examples that demonstrate different strengths: solving a problem, working with other people, and learning something unfamiliar.
For each example, note the context, your own actions, and the outcome. Say “I” when describing your contribution and “we” when credit belongs to the team. If the result was mixed, explain what you learned and what you would change. That is more useful than forcing every story into a flawless success.
LinkedIn’s hiring guidance describes skills-based approaches that can include relevant work samples. Ask what the exercise measures, how long it should take, and whether it is hypothetical. A fair assessment should be connected to the role and respectful of your time.
