I am really struggling with writing cover letters - I can see that mine are probably letting me down. Its hard because I can't seem to find a way of selling myself when I generally don't have the skills and experience that they are looking for; I am having to sell myself in the hope that potential employers will give me a chance.
Having been a stay at home mum for 21yrs I am really finding this hard going. I find out about the company, I address it to a named person (I email and ask if its not included in the advert), but its the explaining why I want the position and what I can bring to it that I am struggling with - I have been told not to put in cheesy things regarding skills motherhood has taught me - like negotiating with toddlers lol, so any ideas would be really appreciated.
