How to conquer Internal Interviews - Par...

Interview Boss
About this episode

Internal interviews can feel so much harder than regular ones. You're walking into a room full of people who already know you, so how are you meant to do yourself justice without feeling awkward, cringey, or fake?

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma break down the mindset blocks that come up when you're interviewing for a job in your current workplace. Whether you’re going for a supervisor role, a promotion, or just a new challenge, internal interviews come with their own set of mental hurdles.

We’ll unpack the fear of reintroducing yourself to people you already work with, taking too much credit for shared wins, the colleague comparison trap, and how to handle the awkwardness, whether you do or don’t get the job.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Davis who bought us a coffee!

“Hello or as my Aussie coworkers say, G’day! I am in California and have been listening to your podcast in prep to apply to an internal role. Every episode was so helpful and the resources you two provide are invaluable! I don’t think I’ve ever been more prepared for an interview and it’s all because of the insight you two provided! I was even ready to negotiate my salary offer but they ended up offering exactly what I wanted, funny how that worked out! Thank you so much!”
