Application Change of Department

The best thing you can do if you're considering changing careers is to look for job openings within your current company and see if you can make use of them. It might be more advantageous to progress in your career alongside the same peers and company structures that you are already familiar with, rather than starting over with the job search process anew. As a first step, you might want to write a letter asking for a change in the department to begin this process. Our article explains why you might want to change your department at work, as well as how to draft a letter in order to do so, including a template and example that can assist you in writing your own letter.

What to write in a letter to change departments at your workplace?

When composing a letter to request a change in the department at work, it is important to follow a simple outline of your goals with a tone that is humble and respectful of the organization's culture. If you want to write a letter that is professional, here are a few steps that you can follow:

• Headings should be informative - Including vital information in your heading will demonstrate your organizational skills and facilitate the review process. In addition to your name, address, phone number, and email address, please include your contact information. To attract the reviewer's attention immediately, use a concise subject line when writing an email.
• Identify a topic to begin with - A topic sentence summarizing your desire to switch departments is a good way to begin your letter. Your letter will be more clear and demonstrate that you are grateful for the reviewer's time if you do this.
• Describe your current position in detail - Your current position may be mentioned in your letter. Name your current department, role, and manager, as well as your current department and role. Give the name of the department you are interested in joining and explain why you want to be a part of it. It's possible that you might want to change departments after reviewing your current relationship with the company. The first thing you need to do is name the department that you wish to join.
• Describe any new accomplishments you have made - You might also mention any new credentials or accomplishments that make you a valuable candidate for the new position. If you have relevant education or work experience, consider including them.
• Bring your presentation to an end with a respectful signoff - Last but not least, you might want to thank the reviewer for taking the time and consideration to read your letter. In this way, you can express your respect for them as well as the complexity of the hiring process.
