Another Cover Letter Reflection from August 2023
Why does this role [Special Assistant to Founder] make sense as the next step in your career?
I think that [company]’s work will catapult me to my next era of Self-expansion. I have wanted to extend on my Self, perhaps as a venture, perhaps as an art, but in my first experiences post-college, I foresaw a limit into what I could achieve without a strong Self foundation. So since then, I’ve been working to uncover and develop my shortcomings into strengths as well as build on my existing ones. Now at age 30, I am the most capable I’ve ever been, yet I still can’t seem to graduate from this Founding era. I have this vague sense that I have everything I need to move forward, but am failing to connect my experience together in some way. I suspect that seeing the firm’s approach to strategy play out across various teams, industries, and problems will help me uncover what I’ve been missing and enable me to move effectively through successive eras.
