Signs a promotion interview went well include the interview going longer than expected and, the interview felt conversational, and you were told what you would be doing in the role. A interviewer or recruiter's time is valuable so if the interview is going longer than the set time, it can be a sign that they like you and are trying to get to know you more.

When the interview is more conversational than standard questions and answers, it shows that you are getting along and you build up a good rapport with the interview. It also shows strong interpersonal and communication skills.

A big sign that the interview went well is being told what a typical day in the position looks like. The interview will say thinks like "in this role you will be expected..." instead of "the successful candidate would be expected to..." when they are interested in you for the position. Just like any interview, you can ask for feedback on how you did once it's over but those are some signs that it went well.
