[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imternal promotions are always risky because the hiring managers may dislike you for a minor mistake in the past or rumors your colleagues are spreading. I remember a colleague being passed over for an outside hire because leadership didn't want morale to tank from having to choose an internal candidate over all the others. Always apply externally as you can also fluff your resume without the hiring managers knowing any better.[/quote]

My experience is that managers can often pigeonhole staff that they don't supervise, in a way that may hurt their eventual promotion choices. I had a fantastic colleague once who had a bunch of proven experience in a certain area (and it was obvious that she was very talented to anyone who knew her personally or professionally), but was not currently in that role. My manager had absolutely no clue how good she was but just had a perception that she "wasn't that good" because he didn't work directly with her in that capacity. [/quote]
