? Does my current St. Jude supervisor have to give approval for me to apply for another position at St. Jude?
If you have been in your current position for less than 12 months, your supervisor must give approval for you to apply for another position at St. Jude. You get this approval by completing the Transfer Approval Form. Complete the form and be sure to have your current supervisor sign the form. Once this is done, place the completed Transfer Approval Form in interoffice mail addressed to Human Resources, Employment, mail stop 507.
You can also find a copy of this form under the Forms section of the HR website.
If you have been in your current position for 12 months or longer, you do not need to get approval from your current supervisor to apply for another position at St. Jude.
