Attention: Personnel Manager
I am applying for a ki tchen position within your establishment. I have just completed
t he Culinary Art Program at the College of the Rockies Level I. This Program has
enhanced my previous experience with increased culinary knowledge and has grown
my confidence in dealing with people. I am th rilled to start my career in the field that I
really enjoy.
A fter twenty years of cooking experience, I am actively perusing an apprenticeship to
get my Red Seal Certification.
I am experienced in food prep, and all kitchen duties. I have obtained my Serving i t
R ight, Food Safe, WH IM IS, and Hospitality Basic Skills Program as well Super host
F undamentals. I have done everything from prep cook to head cook, to ordering to
menu planning, to dishwashing.
I pay attention to detail and strive to achieve the highest standard of quality service
and production. I enjoy working various hours and I am f lexible. I am a self-starter,
work well alone or with others. I am highly motivated and work well with lit t le or no
supervision. I learn new routines quickly and can be depended upon for punctuality
and reliabili ty. I feel my honesty, integrity and work ethics would be an asset to your
organization. Given the chance, I know that I will prove to be a valuable employee.
T hank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Catherine D’Andrea
