So people apply out for promotions often right and its one of the main reasons that people leave?

Such as to staff to senior, senior to manager, senior manager to director, etc?

I'm about to do that myself, but how do you sell it during the interview? I could see some people being hard asses about it, but I suppose I just answered my own question. You sell yourself by being logical and stating facts that show you already have the experience, and if someone is a dickhead I assume you wouldn't want to work for them anyways.

I’m in Internal Audit so ymmv, but in my job switch getting from senior auditor to manager I emphasized the activities I had done as a senior that were management stuff they were looking for (leading projects, evaluating staff, reviewing work, doing the annual risk assessment and internal QA review, etc.). Even if you haven’t had the title, there’s probably stuff you’ve done that comes pretty close.

With that said, I ended up finalist a lot being beat out by people who had the manager title before. Frustrating but it worked eventually.
