  Title: Interviewing for a Job Promotion

You have already secured the job position. Months or years have passed and you think that it is time for you to move up. Not a lot of attention is given to the interview process for internal interviews, and it is absolutely worth knowing, especially if the move is big one. Use these tips on interviewing for a job promotion and you should find yourself sitting pretty in that corner office you have always wanted.

 

Actually the interview process for a job promotion started from day one. You have been watched by your supervisors and they are the ones who most likely suggested you for this new job. This can be either a good or bad thing.

 

The good part is that if they suggested you, they must have given you some praise. The bad part is that they also were watching when you made mistakes. This is why it may be a good idea to keep a record of all the successes and failures that you make in your job in order to be able to access that information readily in a job promotion interview.

 

Also keep in mind that no matter how fair you think your boss is, he or she will always be more inclined to pick someone that meets the expectations they have in their mind.

 

There are a few things that make interviewing for a job promotion different from a regular  Off-the-street  interview. For one, your greeting at the start of the interview may be a bit more informal. You have presumably spent countless hours working with your boss but this does not mean, however, that you can treat them like a friend. You still must act professional.

 

Research can be a deciding factor in whether you get the position. Dig around for information about the company, especially subjects relating to your upcoming job. If you are being interviewed for a managerial position, you should emphasis your organization and time management skills, giving plenty of examples.

 

Be prepared for situational questions, such as, The deadline for the project is in two days. You are working with three people under you and two of them are not pulling their weight. What do you do? These types of questions are becoming more common in interviews.

 

When interviewing for a job promotion, the most important topic you will want to talk about is how you differ from the other candidates for the promotion. Make yourself look good without seeming overconfident and focus on what you will bring to the table if you are hired.

     

Good luck and Happy interviewing..!!!!
