[quote=Anonymous]Is this question about addressing the cover letter?  You address it to the hiring official, which sounds like your supervisor, and not to the CEO even if the CEO approves the decision.  I would think the content would be the same, regardless -- why you would be excellent for the job.  Part of the reason is that you already do the job, and you're excited to do more of it.

Don't worry about other candidates or quirky reactions, just write the strongest professional application you can.

Honestly, though, it doesn't sound like you've talked to your supervisor about this move in any detail.  I have worked in places where an internal move "has to be" posted instead of just agreed to internally, but even in those cases the supervisor has sat down with the employee and talked about how everything would work, why the move makes sense, etc.  Have you done this with your boss?   What is your boss's goal here?  These decisions feel very personal but they usually are not: your boss has some business objective he's trying to fill, other than getting you more hours, so figure out what that is and write to it.[/quote]
