Best Answer:
Because people have told you that you have a pleasant phone voice. Because you enjoy assisting other people. Because you have been told that you are pleasant. Because I can juggle a multiple line phone system and take messages by hand accurately if necessary

Write that you are a highly organized person that thrives in a customer orientated position. State that you are impressed by the hotels reputation citing certain policies or charitable affiliations,and that you would be honored to represent the company for those reasons. You will also want to take the opportunity to list the experience and skills that you will bring tot he company citing that is why you would be an ideal candidate. Don't forget to enclose a cover letter addressed to the person responsible for hiring, this information can be easily obtained by searching the Internet or simply calling. Sample cover letters can be found on monster.ca, and although they aren't always read they are definitely a thoughtful touch and give the opportunity to provide information that would otherwise not be available on the application or resume. It also give you the opportunity to thank the hiring manager for their time and consideration.
