Re: Interview... the internal kind
FFK, I've been the interviewer in these spots before. The #1 reason why people don't get the spot (in my experience) is they just seem like they don't really want it. The best thing you can do is show enthusiasm and confidence and eagerness to take on whatever new challenges and responsibilities, including the negatives. The interviewer doesn't really want to hear that you're trying to devote more time to your personal life (or whatever) even if that's the truth. It should be pretty obvious what they want to hear.

Some good stuff here. Just remember that the interviewer will have seen your personnel file and will have talked to your boss and maybe others that work with you.

Trip report? [/ QUOTE ] I got the job! And what's even better, there is a company policy that if the salary ranges for your current job and your new job overlap, the biggest raise you can get is 7%. So of course they make all the ranges really broad for maximum overlapping... BUT I am such a good little negotiator that I got a 13.5% raise instead.

Re: Interview... the internal kind
I'm starting a new job at the same co after some internal interviews. I would say they were more informal than external. there was a notable absence of standard interview questions -- e.g. where will you be in five years? what are your strengths.? It was more about me finding out about the job and them making sure I wanted to do the job.

The interviewers used a specific set of behavioral questions that they did not deviate from. Also a member from HR has to be present at all times. I guess it goes to show you that it's hard to know what to expect.
