Internal interview is the same as external- Whole Process was not so bad. They are looking for Answers to follow the STAR format and must properly display your ability to lead. You will interview with a District Manager other than your own and will require only one interview if internally promoted.

Two district sanagers interviewing over Microsoft Teams. Extensive, heavy "STAR" use required in questions with follow up questions from interviewers. 5 questions for me but our interview went nearly an hour, overall friendly.

You first have a screen with the recruiter, and she sets up time to speak with you. If you pass that, you get sent to the DM and interview with that DM and another DM and then usually decision after that.
