Internal Interview - questions to ask

[SueTrinder]

So, I've got an internal interview. What questions should I ask beyond the practicals of the interview process? Obviously I know quite a lot about how things will work anyway, I work closely with the people currently doing this job.

Maybe ask what your first month on the job would look like- what work/projects would you be given?

Is it a large organisation? Whenever I go for internal promotion, I always ask what the strategic priorities are for the function, as although I know the priorities of the whole organisation,it's good to be clear what you will be focusing on should you get the job.

Already spoken to the recruiting manager and had a really useful discussion so know what the first month/6 months/ year will be like.

Strategic priorities is a good one, the manager is new in their role and I know is planning a change in ethos for that department.
