- Three things: the role you are applying for, one or two results from your customer support work with numbers, and one specific reason you want this company. Name the skills the posting names; for this work the most frequent today are SQL, Jira.
- Do customer support jobs ask for a cover letter?
- None of the 118 open customer support postings with a full description here mention a cover letter in their text (counted today). The application form often has a separate field for one: when it does, a short letter still helps.
