Below is a mail sent in to me by a job seeker asking how he could change his career path to engineering after several years of working in a bank.
Good day Sir/ madam.
I got your email while reading a very helpful teaching on writing cover letters. I really do appreciate your generosity and willingness to help people with career issues.
I would like your advice with regards to career change. I have spent majority of my working years as a marketer in the bank, though i graduated as a mechanical engineer.
My desire is to return to engineering and develop a career. How do i transit with the issues of requests for experienced hands. What do i do to get employed in a multinational as a fresher in engineering without starting at the bottom of the ladder.
Your kind response would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
