How Do I Apply for an Internal Transfer?

Teammates who are on leave may apply directly through the job posting displayed on the Internal Careers Site by submitting an updated resume, along with a copy of their most recent performance evaluations.
Is There a Deadline for Submitting My Application?
Yes, completed applications must be submitted no later than the posting’s expiration date. Once the posting expires, it will be closed, and no further applications will be accepted until the next opportunity arises.
Can I Apply for More than One Internal Transfer Opportunity?
You are allowed to apply for only one internal transfer opportunity at a time. If you have already submitted an application, please wait until the outcome is decided before applying for another position.
What Happens if I Apply After the Job Posting has Expired?
If you submit your application after the posting has expired, it will not be considered. Once the job posting is closed, no further applications will be accepted until the next opportunity becomes available.
What is the Internal Screening Process for Applicants?
All candidates will undergo an internal screening process to ensure fair and consistent evaluation in alignment with our operational needs. This process may include live and/or on-demand video interviews, assessment tests, and other relevant evaluations.
How Long Does the Internal Transfer Process Take?
The timeline for the process varies depending on the role and the number of applicants. Typically, you will be notified of the status of your application once the screening process is complete. This process may take several weeks, so we kindly ask for your patience during this time.
If I Am Selected for an Internal Transfer, When Will I Start in My New Role?
The timing of your transfer depends on the availability of the role and our operational needs. While Holland America Line will make every effort to schedule teammates into the new role, this may not always be feasible. As a result, teammates may need to continue in their current role for one or more assignments until the new position becomes available.
What Happens if I’m Not Selected for the Internal Transfer Role?
If you are not selected for the internal transfer, you may continue in your current role or apply for other positions as they become available, in accordance with the program requirements. Your Human Resources Manager or Director may provide feedback to support your future applications.
Can I Withdraw My Application After Submitting It?
You may withdraw your application at any time prior to the completion of the selection process. If you are onboard, please contact your Human Resources Manager/Director to formally withdraw your application.
