To whom it may concern,
Hello, my name is Naji Ibrahem and for the past 17 years I have worked and am currently the Area Director for, Macayo’s Mexican Restaurants. I have decided to pursue the appropriate opportunity with a growing restaurant organization where I can utilize my comprehensive experience and knowledge.
During my college years, I worked at a family owned restaurant while studying to be a Bio chemist. After graduation, I worked for a pharmaceutical research company. Later I realized that my true passion was to be in the hospitality profession.
After contributing to the growth and success of different organizations in my career, I am seeking new challenges with a company in need of someone with exceptional planning and management abilities. Taking command of an operation or project and guiding it to new performance levels, is my greatest strength.
As evidenced in the enclosed resume, my experience encompasses project management, strategic planning, resource utilization, revenue growth and cost reduction. My ability to analyze needs and create unique solutions designed to yield a profitable outcome have proven to be my greatest asset to a company. I excel at streamlining less-than efficient procedures to boost productivity and sales while impacting profitability. Proactive management of crucial external relationships has allowed me to increase revenue by 25% in one fiscal year.
I know that my proven leadership skills, strong commitment to ethical and professional standards, flexibility in today’s economic conditions would allow me to make significant contributions to your company’s team. I would welcome the chance to discuss my qualifications with you in greater detail. Please call me for an interview. I feel confident our meeting will cut your interviewing of other candidates dramatically
Sincerely,
Naji Ibrahem
