A Director role is opening up on my team pretty soon (I’m a Manager, so one level difference). I’m a very high performer. I plan on applying for the open role and have expressed interest to the incumbent and the LT. I’m talking to the right folks to develop and become promo ready. What else can I do to make myself the best possible candidate?

I think the leading competition will be mostly internal hires - experienced Directors from other teams, and other high performing Managers on my team.

Not sure what an LT is, but I suggest setting up a 1:1 with the hiring manager to learn more about their expectations of the role, not just what you may assume about it, before an interview. That way you can tailor your interview answers to highlighting that you’re already competent in those skills or have had the right experiences. I’d also tailor interview answers around the STAR method and bring in Visa values, strategic thought leadership skills, and people leadership skills.

Do it!!! Take the risk and communicate openly how you would be a better choice!

That’s awesome! Internal candidates are always considered first. A referral and write up from your boss will help as well. Your only competition is other employees. I wouldn’t share with anyone but your boss & the hiring manager. Sometimes telling others talks us right out of our blessings. Sharing too soon.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
