The Role You Are Pursuing
Readiness Self-Assessment
Rate yourself honestly on each dimension from the panel's perspective, not yours. A 5 means they have clear, visible evidence of this. A 1 means this is a gap they are likely aware of.
The File the Panel Holds
What does the panel believe about you before you walk in? Include both what works for you and what you need to address.
Name it here so you can address it proactively in the interview.
Work Already Done at the Next Level
The strongest internal candidates can point to evidence that they have been operating above their current title. List two or three specific examples, not general statements, but moments or initiatives.
