For the last several months I’ve been seriously considering a career change, switching to something only tangentially related to what I’ve been doing for the last 10-12 years.
Thing is, my first job out of uni was a temp position that turned into a full-time job for several years, and my current job (for the last 7 years or so) was earned through qualifications and experience from the first job — so I’ve never had to write a cover letter before. Which seems to be a bit of an issue, as there appear to be a lot of employers out there who want one as part of your job application.
Help me, Divergent family! What has worked most successfully for you? What should I be avoiding? Is there a format I should be following? I’m coming at this wholly inexperienced, and I don’t know how much value to assign to the Google results when I search “cover letter.” Any pointers would be deeply appreciated!
