If you are thinking to apply for a typist position, you need a well-written resume along with a supporting cover letter to be considered.

Ms. Delia Jennings
Manager HR
Exova
423 Cool View Drive
Charleston, WV 55554
Dear Ms. Jennings:
I am eager to work for Exova in the capacity of a Typist. As I have worked in this role previously, I would be able to manage your large volumes of typing with accuracy.
Working as a Typist for 5 years has given me expertise in typing different documents such as reports, memos, and correspondences using various word processing software at a speed of 55 words per minute. I possess the ability to type error-free and articulate documents.
Furthermore, I possess exceptional comprehension of maintaining the quality of all typed documents which is why I ensure that I proofread anything I write several times before declaring it complete. Additionally, I have well-honed skills in performing clerical and secretarial work which may be a typist’s secondary job responsibility.
I am confident that my skills and experience make me an excellent candidate for this position. My resume will provide you with further details about my qualifications, and I am ready for the preliminary typing test that Exova requires. I will call your office in the week of January 20 to check the status of my application and will be available at (021) 221-3611 if you need to reach me.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Jane Donald
