Receptionist Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years in front desk roles where the focus is clear: make visitors feel seen and keep the day running smoothly. At [Previous Company], I helped manage a busy reception area with 120+ daily visits and reduced the average wait time by 25 minutes during peak periods by refining the check-in flow and directing calls more efficiently. I’m comfortable with the day-to-day: greeting and directing visitors, answering and transferring calls, booking and logging appointments, and handling basic data entry. I’m also used to keeping the reception area presentable, handling deliveries, and providing accurate information to callers and guests. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because you value dependable, low-friction service and a calm, capable front desk presence. In a recent week at [Previous Company], a last-minute schedule change during a conference caused a flurry of calls and rescheduled meetings. I coordinated with three departments to keep everyone informed, updated the appointment log, and ensured visitors were welcomed as new rooms opened. The outcome was no confusion at reception and a smooth flow for attendees. I’m available for a chat about the role and how I can contribute to your team at [Company Name]. I can start with flexible hours and am happy to work around busy periods as needed. Kind regards, [Your Name]
