I'm looking to apply for a office job, what kind of things do I need to put on the cover letter?

Also, Perhaps someone on here works in a human resources dept and can give great tips on writing cover letters?

Also, is it overkill or bad to put some of my programming knowledge on a low paying standard clerical office job...
 
Any experiences you have, put it, shows you have experience and have put the time into doing something, relevant or not.

Generally look on the jobs desirable/essential lists, and put them all, in bigger detail, cause you do have them ;)

Generally put in what they need, big it up and put in anything else you can do/have done.

Thats what I was advised, anyways. :)
 
All it says is applicants should be computer literate and show attention to detail and i have to take calls and answer email. Pretty basic job heh.

Edit: How can I show I got "Attention to detail"?

Just write a cover letter explaining where you have seen the position and that you would like to apply. Then bullet point your key skills (the skills described in the job advert). A cover letter shouldn't going into detail it should just highlight quickly what your skills are and obviously these should match the job role.

Then they can look at your CV for more specifics.
