This is the body of a cover letter that would be sent with
a resume. Read it carefully.
I have heard about the recent expansion to your
clubhouse at Happy Valley. Perhaps the club is looking for another cook.
- I have fifteen years experience as an assistant
cook and two years experience as a head cook at the Ramada Inn.
- I have supervised a junior staff of three in
salad and vegetable preparation.
- I take great care and pride in all food
preparation and presentation. My employers have always praised my high
standards.
Enclosed is my resume. I am on good terms with my
present employer but I would like more responsibility in a larger kitchen. I
look forward to possibly meeting with you at your convenience to discuss how my
skills could be of service to your club. |
