The Internal Transfer Resume You Should Never Submit
from The Internal Move Podcast with Fexingo: Lateral Roles, Internal Transfers, and Staying at Your Company · host Fexingo
Most people treat an internal transfer like an external job hunt: they polish their resume, write a cover letter, and wait for HR to call back. But Lucas and Luna argue that approach is backward — and it's why so many internal candidates lose out to external hires. In this episode, Lucas breaks down the one piece of paper you should never submit for an internal role (spoiler: it's your current resume), why internal mobility expert Dr. Priya Sridhar calls the internal resume 'a self-inflicted wound,' and what to write instead: a one-page internal transition memo that your future manager actually wants to read. Luna pushes back on the risk of going 'off-script' when your company's HR portal insists on a formal application. Together, they walk through a concrete template you can adapt today — no referrals needed, no political games, just a smarter way to communicate your value. If you're eyeing a lateral move or a promotion inside your current company, this episode might save you weeks of silence. #InternalTransfer #CareerMobility #ResumeTips #JobSearch #InternalHiring #CareerAdvice #LateralMove #HR #JobApplication #InternalMemo #DrPriyaSridhar #CareerStrategy #InternalPromotion #Workplace #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheInternalMove Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
