dear mr. jones:
in regard to the open cook position you have posted on monster, i am very interested in the opportunity. perhaps after reading this letter and enclosed resume, you will agree we have a mutually beneficial reason to meet. my credentials include:
-12 years of cooking experience in a hotel setting.
-a track record of increasing clientele by preparing top-quality meals and maintaining high standards of excellence.
-respected leadership skills with experience training and motivating kitchen staff to work together as a team.
-expertise in menu planning and food/supplies ordering.
-an uncompromising emphasis on quality, sanitation, waste reduction and cost savings.
abc hotel’s mission and commitment to serving customers and the community is one that i share wholeheartedly. as a cook for action resort, i maintained an excellent performance record (using only two sick days throughout my 12-year tenure with the company) and earned a reputation for dedication, teamwork and a roll-up-your-sleeves work ethic.
the cook position sounds like an outstanding opportunity, and i would welcome the chance for an interview to discuss your needs and outline my strengths in person. you may reach me at 718-555-1212. thank you for your time and consideration of my resume, and i look forward to speaking with you.
sincerely,
jessie b. fairbanks
