Phone 703-***-**** E-Mail Address: adcw6b@r.postjobfree.com Dear Hospitality Professional,

I’m seeking a partnership that will take my career to the next level and at the same time educate myself and the new associates that I come in contact with. My true passion is to teach and to pass on the art of hospitality and culinary arts through apprenticeship programs, continuing education venues, and daily operations. I believe a teaching facility is the optimum environment for a successful property and where the proprietary benchmark goals that are desired can be met. I am seeking a position that will harmonize with my current lifestyle and still harvest growth in my career. I’m currently looking for a pro-active facility that can provide me a professional Food & Beverage environment that will compliment my educational growth and for the co-workers that surround me. I believe there is great potential for a mutually beneficial partnership and look forward to meeting with you. Respectfully submitted,

Bobby Vickers, Jr., CEC, CCA, CFBE
