SHA requires internal candidates to follow the standard recruitment process for lateral and promotional career opportunities.  \nAs an internal candidate, you have unique knowledge of SHA roles and practices. While working in your current position at SHA, you also have the opportunity to build and demonstrate important skills relevant to future promotions.  \nThe tips below are intended to help you put your best self forward in the SHA interview process and share your knowledge, skills and abilities most confidently and effectively.  \nStep One: Application Submittal  \nWhen applying for a promotion or a lateral job change within SHA, internal candidates are required to formally express interest in a vacancy. To be considered for any open positions at SHA, employees must submit an online application. Employees should also use the Temporary Acting Assignment Job Registry to check for and indicate their interest in  \ntemporary acting assignments. Before applying:  \n􀁸 Check to make sure you meet the minimum qualifications required for the position.  \n􀁸 Check for application deadlines (and specific union timeframes, if applicable) .  \n􀁸 Carefully review and proofread your application materials before you submit them.  \n􀁸 Be thorough when answering the Supplemental Questions for that position.  \nNote: The hiring manager or designee will notify you of your application status and if you are selected to advance in the recruitment process.  \nStep Two: Successfully Prepare for the Interview  \nAs an internal candidate, you still need to prepare for the interview process. Many times, hiring managers have reported that this has been the gap between internal and external candidates. Prepare just the same as you would if you were interviewing for a role outside of SHA.  \n􀁸 Thoroughly review the job classification/description and recruitment announcement to ensure you have an understanding of the position expectations.  \n􀁸 Consider an informational interview with the hiring supervisor or an employee in the same or similar role.  \n􀁸 Think deeply about your skills, education, experience, and future career goals. Be prepared to demonstrate how they align with and would benefit the position.  \n􀁸 Familiarize yourself with the S.T.A.R method for responding to potential interview questions.  \n􀁸 Be prepared to discuss or respond to questions about the agency’s and department’s operations or challenges.  \nStep Three: Nail the Interview!  \nA common assumption is the interview will be lower stakes or will be easier for internal candidates. While we place emphasis on career development opportunities for current employees, the objective of every recruitment process at SHA is to hire the best qualified person for the role.  \nAs an internal candidate you will be competing with external candidates and possibly other SHA staff. You must perform well during the interview to give yourself the best chance at being selected for the role.  \n􀁸 Although you may know the panel members, assume that they know nothing about your skills, education or experience. Otherwise, you risk underselling your qualifications.  \n􀁸 Spend significant time describing your skills and experience and thinking of examples you can point to in your professional past to demonstrate why you are a good fit for the role.  \n􀁸 Dress appropriately for the interview to show that you are taking the process seriously and that you understand the importance of the new role.  \n􀁸 Be professional and try to relax. The people interviewing you are your colleagues, and it’s reasonable to use the same conversational tone that you’d use when working with them on any other project. This is a work project, after all – it’sjust about hiring.  \n􀁸 Ask questions about the role, work team and/or department. Remember, you are interviewing the panel as well to ensure the role is the best fit for you!  \nStep ","cbCaipH71b4HS33a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipH71b4HS33a","pdf",148730,"English","# Step One: Application Submittal\n# Step Two: Successfully Prepare for the Interview\n# Step Three: Nail the Interview!\n# Step Four: After the Interview\n# Resources","[{\"question\":\"What should internal candidates do before submitting an application for a promotion or lateral change at SHA?\",\"answer\":\"Verify minimum qualifications, check application deadlines (and union timeframes if applicable), and carefully review and proofread materials.
