justanotherperson Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hi guys! Do you think it's beneficial to include desire to relocate in a cover letter for jobs out-of-state? I have the license for the state to which I'm applying, but it's pretty obvious from my educational and job history that I don't currently live in the area. I've been trying to address this in my cover letter by emphasizing that living in that state is my deliberate goal, but I'm concerned I may just be undermining myself by doing this...Thoughts? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANESMCR Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I don’t think you’re doing any harm. Simply show that you’re readily willing to relocate and enthusiastic to start a new career there. If you’ve ever been in the area you might even expand with an additional sentence. Just don’t get out of hand with it and keep everything short and sweet. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I would mention it. For one thing, it means there will be no delay needed to get a license and start working.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justanotherperson Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Thank you, I appreciate your insight! I'll make sure to do include it then. Job-hunting is rough right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
