Sample cover letter
Dear [Hiring Manager Name],
I'm applying for the Customer Service Representative role at [Company]. Your posting highlights high call volume and Zendesk experience — I have both.
In my current role I handle 90+ calls per day with a 96% CSAT and a 91% first-contact resolution rate. I've trained six new agents and built a personal macros library that cut my average handle time by 22%.
I'd welcome a short conversation about the role. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
[Your Name] • [Phone] • [Email]
How to adapt it
- Swap Zendesk for whatever tool the posting names.
- If you're new to customer service, translate retail or restaurant volume into equivalent numbers.
