Resume Tips for an Internal Transfer
I loved Norma's post on the Monster Blog about the right way to go after an internal transfer, and I'm glad Norma pointed out the importance of updating your resume to "sell" yourself for an internal move.
If you're trying to move up within your company, check out this article that includes strategies for an internal promotion: Resume Writing Tips for an Internal Promotion
For lateral transfers, I would add that it's important to demonstrate transferable skills that are relevant to the new position. Find out which skills are important in the job you're targeting, and incorporate your matching skills and accomplishments in the resume. It's also important to show that you've successfully met diverse job challenges and that you quickly learn and master new skills.
Best wishes,
