When applying for an INTERNAL position, should my cover letter state that I am a current employee?

Poll - Total Votes: 3

mention that you are internal

do NOT mention you are internal

You can only vote on one answer.

Or should I just leave that part out?
I am not concerned about supervisor/management knowing I'm looking for work outside the department. At least I'm tying to stay with the company

Yeah mention you're current because your cover letter should make reference to the job you're applyinhg from.

@CountScrofula Right, my CL does mention my current role...so maybe I should put, " relevant to this positon is my experience as a CURRENT [job title] with [the company]??

@iamnikki Yeah. It's less that you have to say I AM A CURRENT EMPLOYEE but more that you should just talk about what you're coming from to pitch yourself for the job. GOOD LUCK!

@CountScrofula what do you mean 'it's less'..make a complete sentence lol

@iamnikki "It's less but more this" is a turn of phrase I promise.

What I'm saying is that you just need to discuss your current position in the cover letter, which will reveal you're a current employee.
