Good work Hobbs!!
Somehow I have a gut feeling that I didn't aced the interview for my job transfer bid. Is there a way for an introvert who has little experience in interviews to ace one? Especially since I want to improve my economic situation and get a better job than the one I'm currently in.

The only way you're truly going to know for sure how to improve is if you call the employer and inquire about how the interview went and how you can improve going forward. It also looks really good to the company as it shows persistence, enthusiasm and a strong desire for self-improvement, all of which are strong skills for pretty much any job.
You probably won't get anywhere with this, HR tends to strongly discourage giving any worthwhile feedback about applicant performance as there's mostly downside to the employer from sharing.
Probably get more by submitting whatever your local equivalent of a FOIP request is for all the info the company has on you.
I almost never tell anybody why I rejected them, and it has nothing to do with political correctness.
Yeah, for my job openings, the applicant calling to inquire about the status of the process gets told it's in progress, and approximately when we anticipate making an offer to a candidate, and no more than that. I don't mind a single followup call/email - it helps very slightly if at all. The second or third ones are negative marks. And probably for the same reasons as Downtown, I would not give a candidate feedback about the interview or in general, it's simply "the other candidate was a better overall fit for the position" and thanks for your time.
Also, not every hiring decision is totally rational. You want to be the guy who calls up an applicant that he isn't getting the job because the manager would rather get a beer with the other guy?
Is there a particular reason for this? My only experience with being an interviewer was for a charity who needed a more professional writing team for orphan case studies and I told everyone why they weren't accepted because it seemed like the right thing to do.
Would I need to wear a tie? Obviously I don't want to arrive in my current work uniform.Dress modestly. Don't arrive in a tuxedo but don't arrive in gangster clothes either. Something that isn't baggy or too tight and looks presentable for most, if not all, settings. You don't need a suit for most interviews, nor do you really need a tie (though you can't go wrong with it if it fits properly). Casual work wear (aka a dress shirt, khakis, business belt) suits this well.
How would I tackle the question "Why do you want this job?". Obviously my mind is going "I want more money, more hours, benifits, and to get out of the job I do not like that's not utilizing my skillset".Anything more wanted?
