Writing a Cover Letter for a Virtual
Call Center Job
No resume is complete without an accompanying cover
letter. Writing a cover letter is not hard, but it is important and
you should spend a few minutes composing a letter that will increase
the likelihood of your resume being reviewed.
Your cover letter should be brief, no longer than one
page in length, and expand on the Objective Statement you included in
your resume.
Begin by specifically stating the position or type of position you are
seeking. Follow this with a supporting statement or two, reflecting your
skills and experience relative to the position you are seeking.
Highlight any work experience you have where
you utilized the skills required by the position you are seeking.
Next, summarize any special skills or training you possess that will
benefit you in your new position if hired.
Finally, sell yourself. Think about what employers look for in
great employees. Highlight those qualities you possess that employers
value highly. Qualities such as dependability, being a team player, being
a fast learner, and having a positive attitude are all examples of
desirable traits in an employee.
We have included a sample cover letter on the next page. You can use this as a guide when writing your own cover
letter, but do not copy it word-for-word. Modify it to
accurately reflect your own skills and experience.
