Deliver your transfer applications directly to the department advertising a position. Watch for signs of promotions in your department. When applying for promotional transfer or in-house promotion or reclassification, watch for signs of favoritism. This can be challenged. Your supervisor is supposed to prepare an evaluation of your work once a year.
Performance evaluations can be a useful tool when seeking transfer, promotion, or reclassification.
Performance evaluations can also show new skills you have acquired, new duties you have taken on, and in general document the career progress that qualifies you for promotion. Merit increases are sometimes also dependent on your performance evaluation. If you feel you have received an unfair evaluation and want to get it changed, you can file a grievance on the issue.
