Episode 104 | Encouraged to Interview Internally? Congrats! You Got the Job

Question

Hi, Work Wives, this is Elise from Santa Ana, California. I have an internal interview coming up soon for a position a step above my current role, which my old coworker got let go from. I'll literally be interviewing with my current boss, the VP of our department, and a few other senior leaders. I was encouraged to apply, but I'm so nervous. I have an idea of what the role entails. So how do I prepare for this interview? What questions should I ask? Thank you.

Summary

Internal promotions are the best kind of promotion inside Corporate America, so if you've just received an invitation to interview internally, take it, because the invitation is basically a job offer, the new role is basically a stretch project, and the interview itself is just a leveling-up meeting.
