I want to send an email to what could be my new boss. It is in the same company but I will be moving departments.

The email I want to send basically asking if I should apply or not. The reason I'm in 2 minds is because of the critera. There are too main parts to it, I exceed one of them by a fair way but know very little of the other. I have never met this guy but he is pretty high up in my company. I can't drop by for a caht has he is in a different country and I don't want to phone.

I basically wanna say

Hello x

I'm interested in vacancy x, this is what I know,but I have no knowledge of x. should I apply or is prior knowledge in x essential.

Yours faithfully/sincerly/hopeing chris

I'm really crap with written comunication and has I have never met this bloke I want to give a good impression.

Help/advice appriacated.

Chris

Just apply for the job rather than ask if you can apply.

There no point if I'm not gonna get it.

A I will need to type out a new CV, B my manager will know I'm looking else where which I don't want untill I have a fair chance of getting the role.

Your manager will get to know if you just email the guy anyway.... For sure he will ask your boss how good you are before replying. Or if he does it will reply just apply Wink

The thing is about you being lazy about typing out your CV, you only have to do it once and then whenever you apply for a job in the future, modify it for the position.

You may as well get it done sooner rather than later as it will have to get done eventually.

I was going to write a serious reply, but as you're not serious about the job, I can't be bothered. Rolling Eyes

Speak to your line manager.

He he approves, make the application.

It it takes a few hours, so what. Surely it's worth it that you've shown interest/willing even if you don't get the job.
