With a career change, you will need a cover letter to go with your revamped resume, as your resume may not have the relevant experience a hiring manager is looking for.
It’s essential to make the most of your cover letter as an opportunity to demonstrate why you are a good fit despite lacking the specific employment history that may be an important factor in being chosen for the job.
A persuasive, well-written cover letter will convince the employer that your work experience is a strength rather than a weakness. With your cover letter, be sure you’re clear on your goals for transitioning careers, and that you’re positioned for a successful career change.
Include the following three crucial points, to explain in your cover letter why you are qualified for the specific role. Emphasize on your transferrable abilities. Highlight your exceptional performance in previous positions. Express your passion for the company. The aim is to make sure you communicate these points throughout your letter.
