I intend to utilizing knowledge I acquired through skills I developed working for several years as a line cook in

many different of restaurant settings. Through the positions listed below, I have acquired in-depth knowledge

of food services that I hope to fully utilize in a new role. My extensive experience working in both formal, and

fast food restaurants, as well as my sales background, will enable me to bring a full range of skills to new

positions. My ability to remain focused in a high-paced and sometimes hectic environment has made my skill of

team building, and proficiently executing processes second nature. I would be a great asset to your company

because I am a fast learner and enjoy performing the fine dining experience.
