Hello all,
I am going to change direction in my career this year, I really need to take some time out and consider all options. I may even go back to study, so this is a big deal for me and my family.
I have been working in a high stress level senior management position, regularly travelling away from home and often working 60 hour weeks; and have built up lots of experience in one particular sector, but I now realise that this isn't for me anymore.
Whilst I am considering all options, I want to take some local work in an office or a shop, nothing too taxing, walk to work etc; allowing me to focus my time and thoughts on research and planning for the next chapter. I can keep things ticking over at home, as long as I can earn around 20k.
I have applied for a few jobs, but am not sure how to approach the CV and covering letter to imply that despite my experience, I really want more of a low key job. I have had 'too over-qualified' feedback, which is fair enough.
Can anyone give me some advice please, on how to tailor my application to suit these types of positions?
