I did an interview today for an internal promotion in work. I knew all members of the interview panel and despite doing loads of prep, the interview didn't go great.
I answered every question but made basic mistakes. I used examples from earlier in my career (all within the last 4/5 years) as I thought this would be the best approach but now think I should have used ones from my current role. It just didn't "feel" like it went well.
I did really want the role. But I am also happy in my current role so this isn't the end of the world. So why am I so nervous about bumping into members of the interview panel again?
I haven't had the official feedback yet but I'm 90% sure it's a no and honestly, I'm dreading going into work tomorrow and getting the official word and having to have that conversation with people. Despite not telling anyone myself, at least 5 people came up to me separately today to ask how it went!
Any tips?
