I am an intern right now and there are a couple of full time positions posted on our corporate intranet website which I would like to apply for. First I would like to know who the best person is to talk to if I want more info about these positions. Would HR tell me what the exact pay of this postion is and stuff.
After we have that taken care of how much notice should I give to my manager before I fill in the transfer form ?'

comments welcome.

Speak to HR about the positions. They are the best ones to communicate with to get information.

When you make your decision that you're applying, I think it would be prudent at that time to speak with your manager about your ambitions. Tell your manager that you're thankful for the valuable experience, and feel ready to take on a full-time position, and have intentions of applying to the position (then describe the position).

Best of luck!


Cheers!

But do your best to not leave the present boss in any trouble and be willing to give as much help as possible. Two weeks would be a minimum if you were leaving on good terms and a transfer shouldn't be any less unless both managers can work it out.
You don't want a manager anywhere in the company holding a grudge. That is an open invitation for making your life hell.

Check your company policy - there may be a clause in there that tells you the requirements.

Our company has a posting policy as well, and employees are free to apply for posted positions within the company.  In order to make the application, our supervisor/manager has to sign the application form so it's all above board.

If positions are posted with the hiring supervisor's name, send an e-mail to that person asking the questions you need answered.  You can probably find out some details and more infomration before you actually go through the formal application process and alerting your current manager.

Above all, leave your position on good terms - you never know when you might need that manager again!
