I was hired in July 2012, and started in the position in September 2012. <br><br>In the same vein as Konkiel (2014). I am sharing this letter in the hope that it will be helpful to others who may be seeking a similar position. I had never applied for a job like this before, and I certainly didn't come from a library background. I encourage more researchers to consider transitioning into the data stewardship field, and this letter shows how you can highlight how your skills are indeed transferrable.</p> <p> </p> <p>Inspired by: Konkiel, Stacy (2014): Data Management / E-Science Librarian Example Cover Letter. figshare. http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.967998</p> <p> </p>
