Cover Letter for Internal Position

A Cover Letter for an Internal Position is a formal letter submitted by an existing employee who wishes to be considered for a different role or a promotion within the same company. The letter usually includes a brief overview of current job responsibilities, examples of past contributions and a statement of interest in the new opportunity. It helps reinforce the applicant’s knowledge of the organization and their ability to bring value to the desired position. Unlike an external application, it may also reference internal projects, teamwork or leadership experience that aligns with the new role.

Current employees applying for another role, transfer or promotion within their organization complete this document as part of the internal job application process.

Submissions are made to the Human Resources department, hiring manager or through the internal job application platform, depending on the company’s policy.
