Dear Sir or Madam:
While searching for opportunities to further my career in the culinary and
catering field, I recently found the position for Sous-Chef at the Resort & Spa. I am
currently completing my internship for Culinary Academy, and I would like to be
considered for this position.
During my recent employment in fine dining establishments, I gained
experience preparing and cooking in a wood burning oven and producing over 20 dishes
as a sauté and pantry chef. I also maintained a quick turnover rate while preparing
300-600 covers. At Everyday Country Club, I prepared hot line sandwiches and meals
and ensured customer satisfaction for large rental parties and events for the pool area. I
plan to graduate from the Culinary Academy in May 2012 and believe I would be a great
fit for your Resort & Spa.
With a passion for culinary and catering and knowledge in working with
business clients, I feel that I am a strong match for the Sous-Chef position. I am excited
at the possibility of cooperating with your staff and clients at Resort & Spa. I have
included a copy of my resume for you to review. I appreciate your consideration, and
look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Samantha Jones
