Dear Mr Jackson
I have been an avid fan of baking for a long time and my creativity has also been
channelized towards this profession. That is why I am sending my resume as a job
application of Pastry Chef Position currently available at The Bake Shoppe. With my ability
to turn a raw pile of ingredients into delectable treats, I am quite certain that I will have
much to contribute to your bake shop.
By means of a great aptitude to pay close attention to detail and a steady hand, I have
been deemed an “artist” when it comes to pastry decoration. I have had considerable
experience with flaky pastry which is one of the most difficult type to “get right” and I
have even invented a cream-filled flaky pastry that does not dissolve but in the mouth!
Since I was working on a supervisory position in my last work place, I have had experience
overseeing staff and pastry production in order to maintain both quality and quantity and
to further customer services.
The unique opportunity of working at The Bake Shoppe will allow me to use my expertise
in a productive environment. I’d like to meet you to discuss this in detail. In order to
follow-up, I will call you after 5 working days. Should you need to contact me in the
interim, I may be reached at (117) 777-7777.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Mr Jackson
I am currently employed at (name of restaurant) as a sous chef in the main kitchen. My
duties include assisting the head cook in all areas of preparations to completion of main
course dishes during our lunch and dinner services as well as inventory management.
I graduated from (name of culinary school) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Culinary Arts,
as I have always been passionate about baking. There was no position for a pastry chef at
my current place of employment and was assured that a spot would open up for me
within 6 months but nothing has and I am now seeking new employment in the field that I
studied for and love.
I admire all the positive industry reviews that circulate about (name of restaurant etc.) as
being one of the leading (French) restaurants in (city name) and one that is at the
forefront of providing its diners with new culinary experiences.
I believe that my qualifications and passion for creating delectable pastry would allow me
to become a valid member of your kitchen's pastry chef team. Recipe creation using new
and exciting flavour combinations is an area that I focused on during my degree and I am
confident that I would be able to entice new as well as loyal customers to become avid
fans of (name of restaurant) patisserie offerings.
I hope to be able to meet in person and demonstrate my dedication, competence and
enthusiasm for a position with you team.
Thank you for your time today,
