Hi,
Since graduating school 14 years ago, I have worked in the fitness/coaching industry. Unfortunately this has resulted in several knee surgeries. It is now time to change careers but obviously im limited to sedentary type positions. Despite the knee injuries I'm in good health and still workout, but I just cannot commit myself to 40 hours in a physically demanding job.
I know my next job will be entry level in an office type setting, and I'm fine with that but my main concern is how to write my cover letter to explain my situation. I don't want to look like a sympathy case, neither do I want to look like I am constantly in pain and taking time of work.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
