Cover letter for switching between public and private sector

Moving between public and private sector means the reader may quietly doubt the fit. This writes a cover letter that translates your experience into the language and values of the sector you are entering, so a council CV reads as commercial-ready, or a corporate one reads as mission-driven. Give it the role, both sectors and your achievements, and it maps the crossover.

- Address the sector switch as a deliberate, motivated choice
- Demonstrate awareness of the cultural differences between the two sectors
