Before you write a cover letter
What if I have no office experience?
Describe relevant work such as managing a queue or resolving an order problem, rather than inventing office duties.
Should the letter repeat my resume?
Choose one or two examples and explain why they fit this job instead of listing every past role.
Can I reuse the same letter?
Keep your background paragraph, but change the employer details and the evidence that matches each posting.
