PQA Interview (Personal Qualities & Attributes)

A PQA Interview (Personal Qualities & Attributes) is a type of interview used to assess a candidate's experience in relation to the Personal Qualities and Attributes that an employer believes are necessary for employees to posses, to be able to do a job. This type of interview is fairly similar to a competency based interview, and requires candidates to provide situational examples to demonstrate skills and abilities. This type of interview is most commonly used by public sector employers, such as the Police, the Fire Brigade and the NHS (National Health Service).
