Change Manager Cover Letter Example

Your Change Manager Cover Letter must get you to an interview so that you can convince the hiring manager in person that you are the best candidate for the job and that they should choose you without delay. This is the MOST essential part of your Change Manager's job search and application process because it allows you to demonstrate in person how good your influencing skills are. Analyse your skills first.

The role of a Change Manager is generally to coordinate and deliver changes related to: hardware, communications equipment and software, system software and live application software. To ensure that standardised methods and procedures are used to enable the efficient and prompt handling of change and to ensure that the change process supports the needs of the business. In addition the people issues must be considered and integrated into the process.

So you need to realize that your letter is not just something to send with your CV - it is your SALES letter and must demonstrate quite clearly that your CV is worth reading and you are a genuine candidate.

Check the way the cover letter below is written and see if you can note all the essential points that any good cover letter needs to contain.

The Change Manager Cover Letter Should:

• Be properly addressed with contact details clear;

• Have a banner headline in bold typeface which identifies the Job title, reference number and publication - some companies may be advertising several positions in different papers so this leaves no doubt;

• Simple, clear 1-page letter layout;

• Positive and reassuring tone throughout;

• Bullet points (max 5) matched to key requirements in advert;
