Career-Change Cover Letter Example

I spent six years teaching secondary-school students, which is really six years of running 30-person discovery interviews five days a week. I'm now pivoting into UX research, certified by Google's UX program, and I've already shipped 3 portfolio studies — one of them for a chronic-condition health startup, which is why your role at Northstar caught my eye.

What I bring back to the team is unusual: I'm fluent in plain language, comfortable in front of difficult conversations, and I write research reports that non-researchers actually read. What I'm missing is years of agency velocity — which is exactly why I'd like to learn from your seniors.

I'd love a short call to walk through my Northstar-adjacent study. I can share the recording, the synthesis and the journey map in advance.
