Cover Letter for Career Change

Cover letter sample for a career change.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my desire with the position of Customer Service Associate as was advertised by your company, True Blue Limited recently in a local newspaper.

While my resume enclosed associates me little with the customer service industry, I have garnered, throughout my present employment as a Public Relation Executive, many of the essential skills that would shape up a good customer service personnel.

As a PR Executive, my daily routine involves me communicating and collaborating with the media, event organizers, international delegates, security officers, VIPs and other important external parties.

Dealing with different people of distinguished levels have made me a good listener and communicator. People describe me as a confident, reliable, calm and composed, with strong initiative to make things happen – the type of whom customers will find pleasant to work with.

I am keen to discuss and explore possible opportunity with True Blue Limited and realize my wish for a career change. I would very much appreciate it if you can accommodate an interview session for me, and I shall be able to attend the interview at your own convenient time.

Thank you again for your consideration, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Yours Sincerely,
Lisa McGyver
