Dear Mr Jackson
My passion for the hospitality industry along with my vast experience in catering makes
me the perfect candidate for the job of a Catering Manager that you have advertised in
The Times Weekly. My resume (enclosed) will provide you with an idea of how I can prove
to be a valuable member of HEI Hotel.
I am aware of the fact that the work of a Catering Manager is not merely managing menus
and budgeting; there is so much more that needs to be done. Having worked in this
capacity for over six years I am familiar with the demands of this job such as soliciting new
accounts in order to meeting revenue goals and selling all facets of the hotel to new and
existing clients. My current work includes developing strategic business plans, researching
competition products and activities, developing sales leads and of course playing an active
part in planning just the right menus. Furthermore, I am responsible for recruiting and
training new staff and handle the existing one so that the right level of service is provided
to clients.
I am positive that my experience as a catering manager will prove to be highly beneficial
to your hotel. I am excited at the prospect of joining your hotel and would like to discuss
this further with you. I will call you after the weekend to set a meeting and will be
available on 555 333 1234 in the interim. Thank you for your time and consideration.
