Internal or external job interview – the same rules apply

If you’re looking for a new job or career opportunity in 2012, you may be looking both external and internally for that move. For maximum job-hunting and interview success, make sure you approach either option professionally. In an article on the post-graduate careers blog from Salford University, there are tips on how to approach an interview for a position within your existing company along with a useful short video on how not to do it. A professional approach still applies, as well as researching the new position and remembering that your reputation, good or bad, may precede you.
The article also advises what approach to take if the interview is as a result of company restructuring. “Park any ambivalence at the door’ is one piece of advice as well as dressing to impress – ‘up a notch’ from your normal work attire. For interview tips that apply to a wide range of situations, read the full article at http://pgblog.careers.salford.ac.uk/2011/11/how-to-survive-an-internal-job-interview/
