Career Change Cover Letter Example
Moving into a new industry or function.
Dear Hiring Manager, I am applying for the data analyst position — a deliberate move after four years in operations. Running supply reports for a 60-person team taught me the questions worth asking; a SQL and Python certificate plus three portfolio projects taught me the tools to answer them at scale. In my current role I already automated our weekly reporting, saving the team 20 hours a week — that project is what convinced me to make the switch. I would welcome the chance to show how operations context plus analytical tooling can serve your team. Sincerely, [Your Name]
