Cover letter for a career changer entering a new field

You are changing fields and worried the gap on paper reads as a problem. This writes a cover letter that names the switch head-on, then maps your transferable skills onto the new role so the reader sees the move as deliberate, not desperate. Give it the job, the company, both industries and your reason, and it does the joining-up for you.
