In this episode of the Open To Work Podcast, career coach and former tech recruiter Farah Sharghi joins us to break down everything you need to know about navigating internal job moves—from preparing for internal interviews to dealing with the politics that often come with making a move inside your own company.

If you’re eyeing a promotion, a lateral shift, or just want to grow without leaving your current employer, this episode is packed with practical advice and real talk about what works (and what doesn’t).Topics Covered:

• How internal interviews differ from external ones

• What hiring managers really look for in internal candidates

• How to prepare when you’re already “known” inside the company

• Managing internal reputation and handling tricky manager dynamics

• How to advocate for yourself without stepping on toes

Whether you’re ready to level up or just want to be ready when the right opportunity opens up, Farah’s advice will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
