I'm an accountant. I have a high up position within a large organisation. I've decided I want to downsize my job - less prominent role, less responsbility, no one to manage, just generally less stressful.
I've seen a job which is exactly what I want - same hours but further down the ladder than I am at the moment.
how do I word it so that;
a. they don't just think I'm applying for any old job just to get out of where I am
b. I don't come across as cocky/over qualified/too good for this job?
This is what I've come up with so far:
'I currently work 30.5 hours per week and I am looking for a less prominent yet busy, interesting role with similar hours. I feel this position is ideal for me to continue to work in my chosen profession whilst still enabling me to meet the demands of my domestic life'
Advice most welcome...... thanks.
