I need some advice on how to structure my cover letter so far it looks like this:
>Introduction:
I state the position I am applying for. Where I saw the ad and then I list what I feel my strongest abilities are. So far I have
>Hard worker
>well mannered
>Strong attention for detail
>Strong ability to liaise and build working relationships
Then I state my past experience and the responsibilities I had in each role.
I close out by giving my contact information (mobile phone, email) the times I like to work and then I say that I am well presented and have no issues commuting to and from work.
Then my resume is on the next page.
Anyone? just want to know if it's good or not

Usually customer service jobs are pretty chill and they wont expect to have a genious asking them for the job. Your letter sounds pretty cool, just make sure it doesnt have a typo and all the grammar is correct (they will check on that, after all your only contact with customers will be written)

sounds about right, OP. You should put your contact details at the beginning and the end of your cover letter. make sure its in a large font too, for these positions, recruiters often just skim through applications to make sure the applicant isn't a total idiot.
what >>17319949 is pretty much true
>>17319949
Thanks, I'll run it through a spell-checker

Cover letters should only contain your name, reference what is attached, page counts and minimal contact details...
This is NOT a promo-opportunity, it's LITERALLY so your pages don't get mixed with other documents.
Your current cover will REDFLAG you with anyone who has taken a business communications course.

Do you even know what a cover letter is? It's half a page adding a bit more colour and personality to your CV.
OP do not listen to this man just do a simple google search and you can see he is wrong.

That is not the same. If you're sending a solicited resume, then you just send it and they have their own internal process to pass it to whomever asked for resumes.
That site you linked is for unsolicited resumes, meaning you are sending it somewhere in the off-chance they are hiring for a particular job.
You don't need any "promo" stuff to send a resume in they have asked for it, it's pointless and a waste of both your time and theirs.

You're the one wrong.
Since your education is limited to googling shit, google "Do you need a CV on a solicited resume?"
Fucktard.
>>17319985
I'm applying for jobs that were advertised on the internet.
I don't just randomly hand out resumes.
>>17319990
oh god, I AM on 4chan!

I did this out of curiousity and turns out I was right.
Unless they SPECIFICALLY ask you NOT to write a cover letter, write a cover letter.

You're so fucking retarded and wasting this kids time. A cover letter is NOT a CV, a CV is "curriculum vitae" and it's NOT a resume. It's a person's HISTORY and can be far greater than the 1 page resume. A cover letter introduces yourself, your purpose, informs the reader what is attached and NOTHING MORE, UNLESS YOU ARE APPENDING A CV, THEN YOU NOTE THE CHANGES IN THE COVER LETTER.
Jesus fucking Christ, kids with their google.
