Have been in VZ for 4+ yrs, am at 7 months in my current role and wanted to switch internally again to a different role.. The career website says I should be at least 12 months in current role before applying for a new role. Has anyone applied to a different role in under 12 months of their current job? Would my manager need to approve it if I apply for the new role?
Manager need to approve
Manager needs to approve under 12 months . I recommend to wait it out . They will block you anyway . If you are not delivering performance In current role , current mgr will share with possible new hiring manager . You can always start conversation with future hiring manager for future openings
I would wait until about 10+ months. Just make sure your quality of work is good.
What I usually do I send an email with resume to the hiring manager, ask if my profile is a good match and have a quick call to sync up on the job posting. If I am still interested and hiring manager think I am a good fit I give heads up to current manager and then apply if he approves. I got promoted 8mo ago and got OK from manager to apply to another team. The 12mo is a guideline.
I do the same thing. This is def sound advice!
Sound advice, I'd also add that if the meeting with the hiring manager goes well, ask if they can help set up an intro with 1 or 2 of their direct reports; let them know you're interested in the role and would like to learn more about the day to functions of the team/ensure a good fit/whatever positive framing you want to use. Team buy in can definitely help influence the hiring managers decision.
This is called time and title. If you don’t complete you’re time/term in you’re current role, your applications will need to be approved by your manager and/or director.
I’m my 12+ year with VZ, time & title is a hard rule if you’re developing or semi struggling. If you’re a rockstar, they’ll bend the rules for you. If your boss is an awesome leader, they’ll vouch for their awesome employee.
OP what did you end up doing? Did you try to transfer prior to 12 months in role? Looking to try and do the same. Thanks 🙏
Your manager will always need to approve the application upon applying an email is sent directly to your leader for their approval.
Not true, in my recent switch manager was only sent the notification not approval
