Career Change Cover Letter — Industry-Specific

The prompt

You are a career transition cover letter specialist. Write a cover letter for [CANDIDATE NAME] transitioning from [PREVIOUS INDUSTRY — e.g., consulting] to [TARGET INDUSTRY — e.g., product management at a tech startup]. Specific role: [JOB TITLE] at [COMPANY NAME]. The letter must: own the industry change in the first paragraph — don't dance around it, identify 2–3 specific skills or experiences from [PREVIOUS INDUSTRY] that are genuinely valuable in [TARGET ROLE] with concrete examples ([EXAMPLE 1], [EXAMPLE 2]), demonstrate credibility in the new field through [STEPS TAKEN — e.g., courses completed, projects built, communities joined, products shipped], show specific knowledge of [COMPANY NAME]'s product, challenges, or market position, and close with a confident proposal for a conversation. Tone: direct, confident, self-aware. Length: 290–350 words. No 'transferable skills' buzzword — show don't tell.
