What would be a good objective for a transfer within the company? I am switching locations and slightly? |
functions. Do I need to bring resumes to my interviews for the transfers? I am in acct, should I specialize it more? do I need to spend a lot of time on working on my resume for a transfer? It is to a much better location and job. Thanks! yeah, I would bring a resume, just in case, they will probably already have a copy of it, but if something has changed you can tell them you have an updated version if they prefer. you should strive to make a good impression, the 1st 10 minutes will leave the most lasting impression. prepare for the questions interviewers usually ask then, so that you can answer them without hezitation. prepare to say why you are transferring, what about your other job you didn't like, what you did like, prove to them you would provide more benefit to the company by being at the new location/function than your old old one. show that you know the company, that while working there you have learned a lot adn will continue to learn at the new location, etc. etc. etc. show that you spent your time actively, doing and achieving things, not a mere passing of time. the advantage of this interview is that you are already in, so maybe you can even ask about raises, costs of living adjustments, etc, if the right moment comes of course. nevertheless, eventhough it's a transfer, treat it like an interview, it will make you look better and increase your chances. You should bring along a resume that updates the one you used to get the job you have. Update it with what you have done within this company. You should be thinking about why it would be good for the company for you to move to this location and job. (How is your manager going to feel about your leaving? Are you on good terms with him/her? Does he/she want you to advance within the company? If so, enlist his/her help. This could go a long way to getting you what you want.) Think through your career plan and how this move helps your career plan. Let's say, you want to be controller in fifteen years. Right now, you're working in AP. Maybe you want to get exposure to AR or some such. Maybe you follow that up with a stint in cost accounting or budgeting. You should have researched the position and the location. You should be able to show how your experience and education qualify you for the position. You should be able to articulate how this is good for the company and for you in the long term. A good resume never hurts. You'll feel stupid if you don't have one ready and they ask for it. Done well, a resume shows your work history and how professional you are. Done poorly, it shows how sloppy you are. Make sure everything is current, there are no spelling or grammatical errors, no typos, etc. They can be a pain to prepare, but the couple of hours you spend on one will be worth it when you land the transfer! Good luck! I would pull together a resume & go over the relevant skills set and experience on it. Your objective should match what you want, how you can benefit them and the role. "To add value to the accounting department by utilizing my 15 years of experience and growing my skill set and scope of responsibility." might be something decent. I know that this probably doesn't fit what you're doing, but is just an off the cuff example. |
