The interview went well
I wouldn’t really say well, I would say ok. It was really laid back and casual. The manager remarked that she liked interviewing internal candidates because they already know you’re background and what you’re capable of. She said it makes for a smoother process and I totally agree.
I don’t even know how long I was there because the time just seemed to fly. They didn’t ask “typical” interview questions. Instead they dug straight into the what do you do now and which of our systems do you use regularly. I just kept hoping I wouldn’t give a stupid answer like “I like to use a billet grille in my spare time”. Like I said, they really kept it strictly professional but really laid back.
The department I interviewed for is similar in size to the one I’m in now. 3 teams with about 9 people on each team, each with their own supervisor. Each team is a progression from the previous team so there’s room for advancement. Unlike where I am now where you have to wait for someone to leave in order to take their position. It’s the same concept in theory but in my area everyone is the same job grade on every team. So even when someone leaves, it’s only a lateral move.
The manager told me that they will be interviewing the rest of this week and next week. So it will probably be two or three weeks before I hear anything.
