RE: Job Applicant
Dear Sir/Madam,
As a young professional (30 years of age) I am extremely interested in submitting an
application for the advertised job. I’m seeking a workplace that, like me, values loyalty
and is passionate to provide quality food, service & customer care.
With 13 years of hospitality experience I have gained extensive knowledge of business,
culinary skill, history, science, geography & health.
There are 2 types of people in this world, people who eat to live and people who live to
eat; I am the latter. I am motivated by creativity, the pleasure of cookery, as well as
nourishing my desire to continue to learn & advance my career.
I understand that you will receive a large number of applications for this role. I do,
however, believe that my motivation, commitment and pre-existing knowledge will be of
benefit to the business.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my application at an
interview.
Please find my resume below; I look forward to a response.
Kind regards,
Josée Harris
