Even though you may not be interviewing for a job at your existing company, some of these tips are perfectly in line with interviewing for jobs everywhere. It’s a good read either way…
You have a great advantage because you already work there. I would suggest talking about your current accomplishments within the company where you work. Highlight many of the things you have already done and the impact they had on the company. Use numbers to quantify your results.
Most importantly, let them know you have a plan for this new position and tell them how you would approach it. (this is a great tip even if you don’t have an internal interview)
Don’t take anything for granted, like the fact that you already work there and that getting this job will be easy.
Work hard for it. Do your homework and research on the position and present yourself as a unique and genuine candidate who can clearly do this job better than anyone else.
