What changes between HEO and SEO behaviour examples?
Moving Behaviour Evidence From HEO to SEO Level
Hello,
I have several HEO behaviour examples that have scored well. I am now applying for SEO roles and do not know whether to reuse them or find completely different situations.
The examples involve leading a small project, improving a process and coordinating work across two teams. I made decisions and delivered the result, but senior leaders set the overall direction.
What needs to change for these examples to work at SEO?
Quick Answer
SEO examples can come from similar situations, although the answer should show stronger ownership, wider influence and clearer assurance of delivery through others. The official HEO and SEO behaviour examples share a grade grouping, so the live vacancy and the scale of your actions remain crucial.
