I think seek.com have guides and templates you can look at.

Your resume is generic, presumably all potential employers get a similar if not the same document. The cover letter is where you point out what in that resume makes you right for the role. It is the start of the conversation. Tell me why you want the job and what you offer. Don't go on too long, remember someone may be reading hundreds of them.

Cover letter is just that. Short. CV should be no more than 3 pages. I read lots of these so will the people receiving yours. short and succinct is best. No flowery stuff.

I make sure my resumes are suitable for each job - the covering letter is as Thyla has said. I make sure that I do a spell and grammar check every time. I googled as there is so much info about cover letters - here's one link

All of the above - especially spelling/grammar and a professionally written letter with a properly addressed envelope if you are hand delivering!

Attributes (I work as a med sec) they'd be looking for are - a sense of empathy, non judgemental, patience, awareness of cultural issues and and understanding of confidentiality.

If you are typing letters/documents, accuracy in med work is much more important than speed. Good luck :-)

I'd keep the cover letter short as OLGATOMIC has suggested, your selection criteria and CV should address everything else.

76.5, 76, 75.5, 75, 74.5, 74, 73.5, 73, 72.5, 72, 71.5, 71, 70.5, 70 GOAL!

Don't forget too that your cover letter is also a great way to show that you are literate, so while short and sweet is good, the ability to communicate well in a written format is something that a reception job would appreciate, spelling and grammar, as well as a firm grasp of the English language should stand out.

I think I read somewhere that the first four seconds of perusing a cover letter are the most important. Less is more.

It is also important to have a personal touch to each application. Make it obvious that you have researched the company your application is aimed at. They will like the fact that you have taken the time to gain some knowledge.
