Dear Mr Jackson
My experience as a restaurant cook covers over four years. My talent, experience, and
training make me the best choice for your open Head Cook position. I have included my
resume for your review.
Briefly, I began working in the culinary industry ten years ago when I worked part time
while in high school, working for a local restaurant chain. It was here that I was introduced
to my love for food and creating unique and tasty menus. I then went on to study formally
at Italian Culinary Academy. Once graduated, I went on to work at The Red Door, where I
presently retain role as Head Cook. My responsibilities are the entire maintenance of the
kitchen: a staff of over 10 cooks, menu planning, negotiation with wine/dessert/supply
representatives, replenishment, and organization. It is a challenging environment that
requires stellar leadership and communication skills, as well as an ability to think quickly
on your feet. I have all this. I seek to bring these high standard qualities to your
restaurant.
I thank you for your consideration, and ask that you contact me at your earliest
convenience at (111)-619-5945 to set a time to speak. I look forward to your call.
