I am not working now, leaving my last position with Company A couple weeks ago. I want to come back to B company, where I have worked for 7 years.
The company recruiter and the hiring manager have concerns that I am over qualifed for the position. They have asked me a letter to adress it and why they should hire me. Please help me to address it: how to make the sale and sound professional.Also,I have long term committment.
My e-mail:
If you compare my qualifications with the job requirements, you and the hiring manager would agree that that I am almost a perfect match for this position. I have the right skill sets, analytical skills, presentation skills, and multi-tasking skills. Also, I have years of experience in xxx industry. In addition, I am a good team player. Last, I have proven track records with B company.
I understand that this job doesn’t’t require xxx. I understand your comment regarding the over qualification. I would like to share why I am applying for this position:
1. My last position was xxx when I worked for B Company, same job grade as this one.
2. I would like to come back to work for B company. I have targeted B Company as the place where I want to spend my career, which is congenial and better structured.
3. I always look for an opportunity to work for xxx department, which especially utilize my strengths, analytical skill and multi-tasking skill. My last position was xxx. With the increased regulatory scrutiny, I don’t find the xxx work as interesting as I once did. This position has nothing/little to do with regulatory stuff. I think the job I am applying for now is very interesting, finding ways to improve the bottom line.
4. I want to do a sector switch. My past experience was mainly for Commercial business. Baby Boomers are about to create a record population explosion in Medicare, I believe which is a fast growing field for the next 30 years.
5. It is a telecommuting position. So I don’t need to relocate.
If I may say, I wouldn’t call it over qualified. I would call it a good deal.
