Just to now add my bit... (and say... LISTEN TO KEVIN)
Statement of Competence: Your statement of competence is one of the most important documents used to judge your eligibility for the level of membership you are applying for, so please take time to write it carefully. Show that you have the following -
• are able to achieve tasks using their own judgment, whilst working under general supervision
(so have you worked in situations where you have been semi-autonomous>)
• appreciate complex situations and are able to achieve a partial resolution alone
(have you come up with solutions to - for example how to dig a feature? what to do in a particular situation
• see actions as a series of steps and recognise the importance of each role in the
team
(prove that you see archaeology as a process.. one that you are part of, and each part has its own part to play within the process... so your excavation records (for example) will have to have been well filled out, or post ex is difficult.. and any previous instruction was important, to aid you in your part of the process)
Referees: Talk to them first.. and be sure they want to be a referee... that they like you!! that they will give a good reference.. be of sufficient standing as to merit being your ref!
