New one for me this, it’s probably all obvious but wondered if anyone has any useful input…
There’s a more senior position coming up within my team, for maternity cover (probably secondment). I’m a pretty good fit for it I think and it’s a direction I want to go in so it’s a good move regardless of the impermanence… Even if it means resigning my permanent post, it’s a right move though
So, I figure I speak to my boss before the ad goes out just so he knows, and so that he knows it’s not a spur of the moment thing… He won’t be surprised though. And I chat to the rest of the team to get input and advice, try and find out about any problems before the interview… Basically try and get unfair advantages 😆 Anything else? Or anything I shouldn’t do? Probably shouldn’t lie on the application!
I’m usually good about interviews but I’m randomly nervous and unconfident about this 😆 At the end of the day they might find a more qualified person, I’m in a related role but there’ll be a bit of reskilling involved, so it won’t be a disaster if it doesn’t work out, might be awkward mind…
