Dear Prospective Employer,
In this cover letter, I intend to give you more insight into myself as an individual and prospective employee rather than what my resume outlines as my skills and experience. I am seeking a career change for better life and family balance and believe the skills and experience I possess, particularly my soft skills, makes me a great candidate for the role. I am ready for a new challenge and believe this position will point me in the right direction to building a lasting a fulfilling career.
In all my previous roles, I have had the opportunity to develop and strengthen my interpersonal skills such as verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to handle conflict, teamwork, empathy, listening, and a positive attitude. I am a team player, but can also thrive in an individual contributor role given my self-motivation. These skills are cross functional and will help me succeed in any role, but particularly this one. Despite the industry and career shift, I am confident that these skills will support me in bringing a high level of success to your organization as well as my team members. As evidence in my resume- I have had the opportunity to work with heavy machinery, tools and equipment that will also serve as relatable experience for this role. I recognize the need for safety training and policies as it relates to machinery while maintain process and material optimization. All of this is important as it relates to achieving organizational goals as well as challenges. I believe I am the ideal candidate to help your organization achieve such. Thank you for your time and thank you for considering me for the role. King B. Roberts
