See yourself in the new role

The key for qualifying for IJP is to see yourself in the new job role. If you have been a team member for long and now want to be a team leader, then first take up some responsibility of the team leader.
Generally this process should be a part of your personal development plan or PDP, that should be taken seriously months before even you know there might be an IJP. But let it not deter you now if you have not got any experience under your belt.
Make the most of it now, ask your manager to give you some of his responsibility, try to complete it and add a touch of your originality to it. This will not only get you recognition but spearhead you as the most eligible candidate for the IJP.
Mentor a new joiner and let everyone know about it. If you can show the improvement in the new joiner's performance then there is nothing like it.
Float an email to all and offer your expertise on any technical or non-technical issues. Take initiative.
Think like a manager, if you applying for a management role.
Always remember it is never too late for anything. Make the most out of the time between now and your IJP interview and you will never regret it.
