Dear Sir / Madam,
With this letter I would like to explain my motivation for employment at your company and apply for
practical training.
I graduated as an international city and guilds chef’s diploma Level 3 from the Northlink Panorama
Campus, Cape Town in June 2013 where I obtained an international diploma.
After my graduation from High School, I was working as an intern for the campus restaurant Encor é
Panorama since January 2010 until June 2013, where I was exposed to the practical part of 5 star
culinary arts. The internship gave me the opportunity to understand more about the culinary industry.
After this time, I was fascinated by becoming a renowned chef and its daily challenges. My decision to
study a chef’s diploma was confirmed.
After graduation in June 2013, I started another internship at a 4 star hotel in Cape Town as a chef de
partie for a few weeks.
My duties included:
Preparing, cooking and presenting dishes within their speciality;
•
Managing and training any demi chef de parties or commis chef working with me;
•
Helping the sous chef and the head chef to develop new dishes and menus;
•
Ensuring the team have high standard of food hygiene and follow the rules of health and
•
safety ;
Monitoring portion and waste control to maintain profit margins;
•
The opportunity to work with several customers, confirmed my decision to work abroad. As I am very
interested in other countries, people and the way they enjoy food, I am very curious to work overseas
and learn more about foreigners and their different cultures. It is very important to improve my own
personal skills and work experience abroad.
Due to my work experience in a few different companies and employment with different personalities, I
can offer my extended language skills, profound organisation skills as well as my ability to get easily
used to new projects to my future employee. Furthermore, I am highly motivated to work in another
country and learn another language as I am ambitious to learn more every day. Additionally, I learnt
the values of teamwork and commitment as well as working hard and focusing on given goals. My
ability to structure my time and fit my activities into my schedule helped me to complete given projects
successfully.
The preferred field of employment would be as a chef. I would like to work closely together with
customers.
Thank you very much for your time and considering my request, I am looking forward to hearing from
you.
Yours sincerly,
Mr Emilé G Consul
