If you have researched the Senior Executive Service you already know how much weight the ECQs carry. A significant part of the SES application is the section covering them.

The Executive Core Qualifications cover the skills required to succeed in the SES. There are five, and together they determine whether a candidate has the breadth of executive skill needed across a range of SES positions. Many people consider them the single most important part of the process.

A successful SES application has to be impeccable on these points. Each statement runs one to one and a half pages and has to demonstrate high competence through real examples showing how you applied those skills in practice.

Alongside the SES resume, the ECQ answers must make your competence in each area — and your ability to use those skills together — leave no doubt about your qualifications.
