Is it bad that I wish to leave the current role
for context I've held a manager's position for 5+ Years, climbing from the bottom towards the full-time assistant position that I hold now, due to a internal promotion that has come up a position I want has come up, I've been very vocal about my want and desire to grow within the company. Issue I'm facing now is that I must complete multiple stages of interview, along with having to "compete" against two other candidates? is this normal?

I belive it's quite normal as the position is open for anyone and not promised to someone. All we can do is do our best in the interview and presentations (if there is any). Please do not concentrate on your competitors but rather what you can do. I sincerely wish you good luck.

Thank you Evan! I just needed that reassurance because truthfully I just never been "involved" in a HR process like this? due to all my promotions being "in-house" by the store manager, such as becoming there PT supervisor in less then a year, to being there FT Supervisor within the year after that so. Its just the unknown thats worrying me

It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
