This week on Third Fork, Tansley and Ryan kick off a two-part series on navigating interviews, and we’re starting from the inside out. With experience leading HR and People teams (and with Ryan’s early career roots in recruiting), they unpack the unique dynamics of applying for internal opportunities within your current organization.

From preparing to talk about your career growth, to understanding how to balance role satisfaction and ambition, this episode covers:

·      What hiring managers look for in internal candidates

·      How to frame your contributions without sounding like you're owed the role

·      Navigating awkwardness when you’re applying for a job down the hall

·      Tips for standing out while staying true to your values

·      What not to say in internal interviews (yes, even if they know you)

If you're considering your next step within your current organization, this episode is your go-to guide for moving up, across, or in a bold new direction, with purpose and poise.
