Dear sir or madam
My name is Bulelani Zackaria Dengeleni from the city of Durban in South
Africa. I'm 32 years old. I have 10 years of experience as a waiter through
which I've gathered extensive knowledge of food and beverages working in
various fine dining restaurants in and around Durban. I've worked at a Thai
restaurant, a few Italian restaurants, a Greek restaurant, Indian
restaurant and I currently work at a high end Portuguese restaurant in the
upmarket suburb of Westville west of Durban. Working at these distinctively
different restaurants helped me broaden my knowledge and understanding of
various cuisines from around the globe. I'm very passionate about food and
customer service. I may have not received any formal culinary training yet
but my cooking and mixing of drinks has gotten people thinking I'm a
professional. And at Atasca(where I work) I've had on a number of occasions
customers offering me jobs in their own restaurants impressed by the
standard of service i gave them. I continue to learn on my own for now
through watching cooking shows, reading food magazines and following food
bloggers.
I'm currently looking for a waiting job in a cruise ship and am writing to
you to ask to be considered for a job in yours company. I'm a competent
person and a good interpersonal communicator. I'm a hard worker and am
physically strong for the hard work and long hours reportedly involved in
it. I can keep calm and focused in a high pressured work environment. I'm
an outgoing person and love working in team. I'm a curious guys who loves
meeting new people and learn new cultures and languages. I'm a well
principled person and at 32 age is not very much on my side so I don't have
any time to waste. Customer Service is my life and I don't see myself doing
any other job, so if I'm given a chance I will grab it with both hands.
I hope to hear from you soon
Yours sincerely
Bulelani Zackaria
