Internal application. Interviewed with the manager and due to my prior collaboration with him in previous positions, he knew how I worked and wanted me apart of his team. Started this to me within first five minutes of interview. But told me HR is who makes final decision. To me that’s odd because why is HR making the decision on behalf of a different department. THAT manager knows best, not them. Not for nothing that HR team doesn’t know anything. You ask them an HR related question, you get an “ask your manager for this answer”. Anyway, nearly mouth goes by and I was denied.
