Pare down some of the wordage, and just use your cover letter to explain/expand upon the skills you have that you feel make you an ideal candidate for this job. Cover letters are often underestimated- some people feel they are unnecessary, but many employers look to these when they are undecided or uninspired by applicants. I think you'd be great at this job, btw.

First of all, I agree with the others. Too long, too much info. Do you really think you need to explain that Guest Service is interaction with guests?

If you do some research on the subject, you can find interesting ideas like:

Quote:
Research shows that only one interview is granted for every 200 resumes received by the average employer. Research also tells us that your resume will be quickly scanned, rather than read. Ten to 20 seconds is all the time you have to persuade a prospective employer to read further. What this means is that the decision to interview a candidate is usually based on an overall first impression of the resume, a quick screening that so impresses the reader and convinces them of the candidate's qualifications that an interview results. As a result, the top half of the first page of your resume will either make you or break you. By the time they have read the first few lines, you have either caught their interest, or your resume has failed. That is why we say that your resume is an ad. You hope it will have the same result as a well-written ad: to get the reader to respond.
Gleaned from here
Good luck to you!
