I am wanting to apply for an internal job posting and it’s apply by email. Should I use my personal email or my work email?

Also, should I include a cover letter for the body of the email?

Is there an internal job board or transfer process at your company? Try to find that out first and apply that way.

Even better, try to grab coffee with the hiring manager or someone on the team before formally applying to get the scoop.

Actually, they just messaged me this morning to set up an informal meeting for this afternoon.

For context: my mother actually works for the same company in the position I am applying for (small saas with -60 employees)

The hiring manager asked her opinion on me being on the same team. As well as mention to her that he has spoken with my manager, the department vp, and hr about me and has only heard good things.

I really don’t know what to think at this point. Such a weird position to be in.


-posted the same comment below.

Agreed with the above - have an informal conversation with the hiring manager to build rapport and know more about the role. Then if you think it's worth it, do it through the internal job board. I would suggest to speak to your line manager as well, simply because you don't want them to be caught by surprise if suddenly the hiring manager speaks to them or if they get notified by the internal job board (could happen in some companies!)

Yeah definitely needed to add it in here haha. Hopefully that just helps my odds but who knows. Anyway. Thanks for you help!
