I met with three different people and each one was very kind and cared to have a real discussion. They each explained the role to me individually and I fully understood exactly what I would be doing. It's in my opinion that they hire social people with skills to match. It's definitely helpful to be friendly during the interview.

The internal interview process is complex, there’s not a lot of communication if you’re not even making it through first round and you need to network a lot, I find you invest more work than simply applying outside.
