Janet Said:

How do I write a cover letter if I am looking to make a career change?

We Answered:

Provide a brief explanation of the reason you're changing fields. Explain how your experience and skills from another field will translate to your desired position.

Say you're coming from fast food: accustomed to a fast-paced environment, good customer service skills, dependable, team player. Whatever might be appropriate.

Just think about the skills you've used in previous jobs and tell the potential employer how those skills will benefit them.

Good luck!
