In five decades in the workforce, I have met exactly two whom I would trust to tell the truth, or perhaps say nothing if they thought I wouldn't like the truth.
Okay, it has to be a crappy job in a lot of ways, but basically, you can't trust HR.
If HR is responsible for your performance evaluation, you are chained to a slave ship.
There is no next rung.
There is no ladder.
There is no toilet.
There is only you, and your oar, chained together.
Row in perfect synchrony with the other slaves, and you won't be whipped.
Maybe you will eventually be moved to the top row,
where the other slaves' excreta won't fall on you.
Is that enough of a reward?

These are questions for your direct supervisor, not HR.
You should express your interest in changing. But is a delicate operation. Questions need answers before you step into this minefield.
What are the requirements for the change? Do you meet the requirements?
Does your previous work record & accomplishments validate you for this change? Or are you held back in your current position through lack of accomplishment, drive, initiative, leadership, teamwork, business savvy?
Is there even an opening or an upcoming business expansion that needs a new opening?
Some of the most frustrated engineers I have ever met answered "no" to most of those questions. But because they had years of tenure, they felt they were entitled to advancement. But they never were.

Means that from 9h to 17h, the guys puts himself in a special state of mind (like in Apnea, concept is that you don't seek for oxygen, you are simply coping, managing efficiently/ prioritizing your resources). When the Apnea period ends, then life, hobbies can start and take over. He subsequently became quite immune to BS (all kind: coffee machine BS, corporate BS, official meetings BS, etc etc.). I think he also managed to "act" as if he was actively participating to the
comedywork ongoing. (I have to say that the scene depicted here is not an US-centric one). Some few of his colleagues smelled he was not 100% in - they tried to penetrate his system of defense but were unsuccessful. There is no growth, no ambition, no professional development and it is all OK. Is it ethical? Well, apparently the level of company BS was extremely high. Anyway back to the OP - in absence of any career advancement option (situation completely locked means environment broken and vice versa) - maybe what i just narrated can become an inspiration for you (no sarcasm) :)RE: How to sell myself in daily routine job

What are you going to do, in order to have (some of) the orientations given so far implemented (say a set of actions, e.g. resign tomorrow morning etc.)?

Simple. Do something different. By different I mean next level. What can you do that will blow away the hiring manager or your boss. Even better will be doing something that will directly get the boss all wiled up. This will show your boss that you have leadership qualities and deserve to be in the upper management of the company. Break the mould!
