I have a 70 minute promotion interview coming up in the very large organisation I work for. It is very much competency based with certain skills that I need to evidence.
I am being interviewed by my second line manager that I know well and have worked on projects with. I don't know the second interviewer.
How do I approach the fact that I want to discuss projects that she (2nd line manager) was part of? Do I acknowledge that she was in the meeting I'm discussing or do I act like she's a complete stranger and doesn't know anything about my work?
I also want to talk about one of her special projects that she developed and I helped on. The 2nd interviewer won't know about this project so I need to explain it to him but I feel like a bit of a Wally explaining someone's own project back to them.
Any ideas?
