Good Morning,
I’m interested in the current opening at your establishment. I believe I am a strong candidate for this role. I have 13 years experience as a corporate executive and administrative assistant as well as over 15 years in the restaurant/hospitality industry in roles such as a server/bartender.
I’m an experienced and well versed professional. Working in both worlds has taught me skills such as great communication, reliability, efficiency, and how to build lasting relationships with customers, clients and coworkers.
I would be happy to present my administrative resume as well upon request. I look forward to speaking with you.
Thank you,
Lindsey Carlin
