How to apply for an internal opening

To Apply for an Opening:

Step 1: Ensure that you meet the following eligibility requirements:

You are a current, regular full- or part-time (your company) employee.
You have been in your current position for at least six months. (Exceptions to this six-month requirement can be made by your current manager and should be consistent with company business needs.)
Your performance meets the performance development plan (PDP) standards or established work standards in your current position.
You have not had an employee counseling or corrective action within six months. You are not following a performance improvement plan for your current position.
You meet the qualifications listed for the position on the job posting.

Step 2: Complete an Internal Job Application form:

Applications are available from your manager. Attach your resume, if you have one, to the completed application.

Step 3: Submit the Internal Job Application to your manager for approval.

Your manager will sign the application to indicate that they are aware of and support your efforts to obtain a new position. You may also want to discuss with them whether they believe the new position is an appropriate career move for you. Managers can be helpful.

Step 4: Submit your completed and approved Internal Job Application to HR.

Please meet the stated deadline to turn in the job application. You are ineligible for the position if you fail to meet the application expectations. HR must treat all applicants the same.

Step 5: Candidates who are qualified will participate in an initial interview with the manager of the position.

This interview happens if the applicant has not interviewed with that particular manager in the past six months. Finalists will participate in two additional interviews, with an HR representative, potential coworkers, and with an internal customer of the position or another manager. The selected person will be notified by the manager of the position.
