[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am considering applying for a full time job after being a government relations consultant for the past 6 years. I have had by most standards a very successful consulting career and I relish the freedom that consulting allows, especially with three kids!

DH recently lost his job because his company was highly impacted by government cutbacks and sequester. I lost three large clients last year [b]because of the bad economy[/b]. One large company client filed for bankruptcy and one of my other clients acquired another client! I still have clients, but this economy is tough.

I saw an ad for a job that I should probably apply for but I really don't know how to write the cover letter.

What do I say as my reason that I am looking for full time employment?

TIA![/quote]

What bad economy? The economy has been in a pretty sustained upswing for the last two years.[/quote]

Did you happen to see yesterday's job numbers? No, the economy is not in an upswing. Wall Street is having an upswing, not the overall economy. The American economy is somewhat stable today, but teetering. Most of my clients were in the housing and financial sector. I can assure you, there has been major fall out in that sector of the economy. DH is in the defense industry. If you haven't noticed, there have been major cutbacks in that sector as well.

I really detest snarky responses such as pp's when I am trying to prevent my own family's financial catastrophe.

I would greatly helpful responses here.

Thank you.[/quote]
