COVER LETTER
My name is Darshanan Naidoo. I am currently 25 years old. I was born and raised in Johannesburg. 13 years ago I moved from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth
As I have I learnt over the few past years is that, I have devolved strong attributes. I have an outgoing personality and enjoy engaging with guests and customers. I’m very ambitious, hardworking and driven. I have good communication skills and always, willing to listen. I can adapt to a situation and solve the problem. I studied hospitality and business management as I’ve developed, new skills and knowing more about, customer experience. What I’ve leant in hospitality is that customer service always comes first and working in the hospitality industry as well.
I also have a business background as well which I done several modules such as sales, marketing, accounting and management communication. I enjoy working well with others as I have good teamwork skills and focus at the task at hand. I feel that I need to broaden my horizons and the knowledge and experience that I would need in the working world.
Thank you for your time and I hope to get a favorable outcome.
