"I think when we have two or three internal candidates for a promotion, the whole interview process is stupid,"
"What are we going to learn about them when we sit down in a room for 30 minutes and ask them questions when we can watch them work?"
"every day you're working is an interview for your next job."
"If your peer group would look at your promotion announcement and go, 'that makes perfect sense,' then you've done your job, right?"
Treat every working day as an interview for the next role. Short, formal interviews for internal promotion reveal little compared with observable on-the-job performance. Promotion readiness should be clear to peers; a promotion should feel like the obvious, appropriate choice to coworkers. Career advancement requires both individual competence and a willingness to help peers succeed. Candidates focused solely on personal ascent often fall short. Senior roles require a combination of technical understanding, high emotional intelligence, and genuine care for others. Hiring and promotion processes should emphasize sustained behavior and peer-validated results over short interview snapshots.
