Long time listener, first time caller. I need help prepping for interviews. Been applying for internal role with my employer, all of them "the next level up" in my career. Had an interview this week. Did all the prepwork you do; networked with all four members of the hiring team, got insight from a few trusted coworkers adjacent to this role, spent two days working our my answers to the "behaviorally-based interview questions" we use.
The interview did not go well and I didn't get the job. When he called me to give the news, the hiring manager suggested I work on my interview skills. "Your qualifications are good, your references were good but you didn't show us that you're the best person for this role." I put the time and work into prep, but I obviously prepared for the wrong things.
So I need to get better at prepping for an iterview and likely the interview itself. What options do I have?
TIA
