Typist Cover Letter Examples

Not Showcasing Your Typing Speed and Accuracy: Your qualification here is your typing speed. Thus, mention your speed by taking a typing test, when applying for a typist position.  (e.g., 80+ words per minute)

Using a Generic Resume: Do not send the same CV and cover letter to all HRs or companies. Instead, write a cover letter and CV customised to the position of typist for the particular company. 

Overlooking Attention to Detail: Read the cover letter thoroughly at least three times before sending it to avoid typos and grammatical errors. 

Not Quantifying Achievements: To stand out from the competition, quantify your achievements. (e.g., “Typed 60 reports per week with 98% accuracy”)

Lack of a Clear Objective or Summary: The CV summary should be clear and concise. Therefore, highlight key skills, qualifications, and achievements. 

Using Long Paragraphs Instead of Bullet Points: Use bullet points to highlight your achievements with proper headlines so that they are easy for HR to read. Key elements should be included and highlighted in bullets. 

Ignoring Keywords from the Job Description: To make your CV and cover letter ATS-friendly, always add keywords from the job description and advertisement.
