好的了解，反正都是同⼀个公司的，我就直接点。
你为什么想要转岗呢？其实⼤家都是从业务⽀持团

你说的对。我其实销售做的还不错，上个⽉刚刚成

转岗 internal transfer（名词搭配）/ transfer or transition to a position（动词搭配）
反过来 the other way round
You make a good point. I'm pretty good in my sales role. In fact, last month I was the top
sales in my team. I'm applying for this internal transfer for two reasons. One, I'm always up
for a challenge. I neither want to stay in my comfort zone, nor rest on my laurels. I want to
take on something new. Two, while in sales, I found that my training happens to be my real
passion, and something I'm good at. I love being able to get across the right information using
my own unique approach. So, that's why I'm hoping to join the training department.
