How to write an application for promotion
Evaluate your qualifications.
Before applying for a promotion, you need to be sure that you qualify for the position. If you don't meet the minimum requirements, it is unlikely that a glowing recommendation or otherwise impressive resume will get you the job.
Applying for a position without meeting these requirements makes the applicant look foolish and overly ambitious. Identify the requirements of the new position.
