A promotion interview is conducted for internal employees who are applying for a new job role or position that has more responsibilities within their department or outside of their current department. Here, I'm sharing some practical tips for your next promotion interview. Hope you find them useful.

• Please prepare your introduction well in advance. You are not only supposed to share professional details about your current role, but also the human side of yours (by sharing things like your strengths, your achievements etc.) 
  
  
• It might sound like a lot of content, that's why you need to rehearse a little bit and keep it balanced. 
  
  
• Keep a few points (related to your deserving-ness and suitability for the offered role) ready to add to your conversation. 
  
  
• Also keep a few points ready to share (with appropriate numbers) in terms of your contributions to your present organization and current role so far. 
  
  
• Don't forget to have a pleasing personality (with the help of a positive body language, smile, and a confident outlook). 
  
  
• Remember, most of the jobs now-a-days involve public dealing, behave and speak accordingly.
  
  
• Remember, you already work for the company. Differentiate yourself from the competition by mentioning your company-specific experience, knowledge, and skills when you answer the interview questions. 
  
  
• It's also important to give examples of successful accomplishments and projects, the goals you've met, and your achievements in your current position. 
  
  
• You do not necessarily have to wear your typical interview outfit, but do make sure to dress professionally. Here's a good rule of thumb: Dress to match what the people interviewing you typically wear to the office.
  
  
• Here are a few Promotion Interview questions, for your reference:

1. What do you like best about your current position at the company? 
2. What was your biggest success story in the ABC department? 
3. What makes you interested in the offered role? 
4. Can you tell me what you know about the position you are being considered for? 
5. How about your teamwork? 
6. Why should we consider you for this promotion? 
7. If we were to ask the folks in your department to describe you, how would they do it? 
8. Are you the right candidate for promotion? Why? 
9. How will you handle it if you don't get the promotion? 
10. If you were promoted, what would you seek to accomplish in your first three months in this role? 
    
    Remember, "Fortune favours the brave and the one who is well-prepared."
