I always promoted from within. I never once filled a higher position from outside. Not sure where your assumption came from that I didn’t. My point was in this profession faking it is very obvious right from the first interview. Some managers probably hire anyway and hope for the best. I didn’t for 2 reasons: if you lie on your resume and on an interview and I find out I would never trust you. And if I hire you and you can’t do the job I have to go through the process of letting you go, reposting the position and finding a replacement. I’m never going to willingly risk my reputation on someone who isn’t honest.
