"For the past six months, I've felt stagnant in my current role and knew it was time for a professional change. My coworkers and supervisor have been fantastic to work with, but I feel confident that after three years with my current organization, it's time for the next chapter in my career. Given my experience and interests, I feel that the next chapter is with PepsiCo, and I'm looking forward to the growth opportunities you offer."
