Career Change Cover Letter
A career change cover letter is a vital tool in your armory.
Why?
Because
it's really difficult to change career, or to put it another way to
convince a potential employer that you are a credible candidate when
compared to others with potentially better fitting experience.
The stat's prove that many career changers don't actually make the change successfully.
Most do nothing,
Some give it a try, and then go back...
and very few, make a success of it.
Now,
I'm all for changing career (I did it myself) so I don't mean to be
negative, but the stat's don't lie, and potential employers will need a
LOT of convincing
That your skills are transferable and relevant,
and...
You have the passion, commitment and persistence to see through the change.
Therefore your marketing material has to be BETTER than other applicants.
This means both cover letter and CV / Resume.
So how do you get a winning career changer cover letter?
Now as a recruiter I get many cover letters, most being very polite, but plain in content.
Not complaining I appreciate the courtesy, but if your changing career your cover letter HAS to stand out from the crowd.
