Behaviour-based interview with fixed questions and a rating scale per question.

N3 Proficient	Formulates an own two year career goal, arranges the required experience and training and reviews progress annually. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Develops career paths for the discipline and helps others across the organisation substantiate their own career choices. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession
