I have some “inside information” that a job will be coming up soon, on more money than I’m on, and within walking distance of home too. I have a friend who has some influence there who will put in a good word for me too.
So far so good.
The trouble is, the post itself will be something of a step back career wise – moving from managing and producing publications (whilst being spectacularly underpaid) to an AV Technician role (which I’ve done before).
I also happen to know that the place offering the new job spends a LOT of money outsourcing design and photography work, which is pretty much what I do here at the moment.
So my thinking is I should write to the new company, outlining my skills and experience (both in the area that I know it to be advertised, AND in what I am doing / want to be doing) with a copy of my CV… But I’m really struggling with the covering letter.
Help!
