Job Promotion
A job promotion interview is different from a typical job interview for several reasons:
- First, you are already part of the company or "team" and you know what their expectations are.
- Secondly, every day - before and after the interview - will give you an opportunity to show off your abilities while working in your current position.
In addition, you can use your already established commitment to the company, and your aspirations to grow within it, to your benefit.
On the flip side, you still need to go through an interview process and will be compared with other candidates for the job, possibly external as well as internal candidates. In fact, your interview may be tougher than candidates from outside the company, because expectations about what you know and your skills may be higher.
Here are tips for acing a job promotion interview, so you can be prepared for an opportunity to move up the career ladder.
Before the Job Promotion Interview
1.) Pay Attention to the Hiring Process.
When you find out there is a job opportunity you're interested in, follow the application instructions.
Don't expect to be able to bypass the company's hiring process to get the job. If the company has rules, they apply.
2.) Prepare for the Interview.
Review common interview questions and answers and consider how you would respond, based upon your knowledge of the company, your current job and the new position, your skills, and your goals for the future.
Review the skills you have that make you qualified for the new job.
Also review typical job promotion interview questions that you may be asked.
3.) Do Your Job Well.
Even though you may be moving on, continue to do your current job well, to remind your superiors about what a great employee you are.
4.) Tell Your Boss.
If you get selected for an interview, tell your current supervisor so he or she doesn't hear the news from a third party.
Explain why are applying and ask your boss for his or her support.
5.) Prepare For the Promotion.
Prepare to pass your current job on to someone else; have all of your ducks in a row.
If your goal is to continue moving up in the company, leaving a mess behind can reflect poorly on you.
Offer to assist with training and to be available for questions.

During the Job Promotion Interview
1.) Stay Professional.
Even though you know the company and you may even know the interviewer, but do not lose your professional attitude. It's important not to come across as too casual and relaxed.
2.) Highlight your strengths.
Your strengths may include your familiarity with the position/company, the success you have had in your current position, and the commitment you feel towards the company to make it as successful as possible.
3.) Remember You Don't Know Everything.
Be prepared to talk about unfamiliar aspects of the position. Do not assume you already know the in's and out's. You may get caught off guard.
4.) Don't Be Over Confident.
Do not go to the interview presuming that you "got the job" - an over confident attitude can be damaging.
5.) Ask Questions.
If you have questions about the new position, what your role will be, and how you would transition, be sure to ask during the interview.

After the Job Promotion Interview
1.) Say Thank You.
Write a thank you note to the person that interviewed you. Reiterate your interest in the new position.
2.) Don't Burn Your Bridges.
If you get the promotion, do not burn any bridges.
You will be leaving co-workers behind, possibly becoming their superior, treat them with the same respect you did when you were working together.
When the promotion is finalized, let your co-workers know that you are moving on.
However, if the company is going to send an official announcement, wait until that is sent before sending a personal email message.
3.) Don't Have Hard Feelings.
If you don't get the job, leave any negative feelings behind and work towards the next promotion opportunity.

Phone Interview Etiquette
Tips:
1.) Be Prepared to Interview
- Prepare for a phone interview just as you would for a regular interview.
- Compile a list of your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions.
- Plan on being prepared for a phone conversation about your background and skills.
- Keep your resume in clear view, on the top of your desk, or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions.
- Have a short list of your accomplishments available to review.
- Have a pen and paper handy for note taking.
- Turn call-waiting off so your call isn't interrupted.
- If the time isn't convenient, ask if you could talk at another time and suggest some alternatives.
- Clear the room - evict the kids and the pets. Turn off the stereo and the TV. Close the door.
- Unless you're sure your cell phone service is going to be perfect, consider using a landline rather than your cell phone to avoid a dropped call or static on the line.
2.) Practice Interviewing
- Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it so you can see how you sound over the phone. Any cassette recorder will work. You'll be able to hear your "ums" and "uhs" and "okays" and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.
- Rehearse answers to those typical questions you'll be asked.
3.) During the Phone Interview
- Don't smoke, chew gum, eat, or drink.
- Do keep a glass of water handy, in case you need to wet your mouth.
- Smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice.
- Speak slowly and enunciate clearly.
- Use the person's title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name.) Only use a first name if they ask you to.
- Don't interrupt the interviewer.
- Take your time - it's perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two to collect your thoughts.
- Give short answers.
4.) After the Interview
- Take notes about what you were asked and how you answered.
- Remember to say "thank you."
- You can also send a thank you note which reiterates your interest in the job.
