I've been in my job about a year and I have an interview next week to be promoted to management level. I am more technically capable than the other candidates but I have much less time served and am less personable.

This is really important to me because I am near terminally bored in my current position and am literally doing my own work, the work of two other people and then staring into the middle distance for the remaining 6 hours a day.

I'm concerned that the hiring manager has said he is looking for people skills, "qualities", and so on. They've said the interview will be "informal", which is scary.

Any advice? Anyone been in a similar position and got feedback either way?
