Kick in their bosses' door and say "I want the job." I did it once or twice and it's worked.

Starting tomorrow wear a tux. This will establish you as the best dressed. Command everything. Defer everything. Don't just sit in the office, make it yours. Hang a painting of yourself wearing the tux smoking a pipe or drinking brandy, something stodgy that exudes sophistication. Speak of lofty ideas (leaving at 5:30 everyday, bonuses, quarterly promotions, half day fridays and no weekend work). Update your LinkedIn profile, business cards and the sign on the door.

I assume you have access to Sr. Leadership. Schedule time with the influencer and state your case. Request to be interviewed/considered for the position. Seems to me, if you're a respected, high enough position within the team, is a good decision for seamless and efficient transition for the company. Good luck!

Does your boss know u want their job? Make sure they know and act as an influencer (assuming they think you're ready too).

Apply for the position. Request to be interviewed.

I totally agree with AD1. Don't forget to update your Facebook, Twitter, and any other social media you have as well. One must first look/act the part to be the part. I feel like the CCO or CEO of that place mention it in a HDH.
