How to write a Receptionist Cover Letter

Q. How to write a Receptionist Cover Letter

A receptionist cover letter tells the employer about the distinct qualities of an applicant that make him/her suitable for the post. For instance, it tells the company that the applicant has good communication skills, can handle large volumes of calls at its front desk, will greet its clients or visitors with a warm smile, visit the customers and vendors regularly while they are waiting for their respective appointments, and maintain a very professional atmosphere in the office. Since skills, training, and personality play an important role in qualifying a person as a suitable receptionist, all such qualities must be incorporated in the cover letter.
