To the Hiring Manager,
I’m excited to apply for a bottle service or hostess position at UCLA Counter Club. I’m a tall, athletic, high-energy woman currently in grad school for Health Administration and preparing for PA school—but I’m also someone who loves connecting with people and thrives in fast-paced, vibrant environments like nightlife.
With over 7 years of experience in healthcare as a CNA, I know how to multitask, stay calm under pressure, and give people the attention and care they deserve. I’m confident, quick on my feet, and take pride in how I carry myself—whether I’m working overnight shifts or bringing good energy to a room. I’d bring that same level of professionalism, hustle, and presence to your team.
I know I’d be a great fit at UCLA Counter Club because I understand how to create a vibe, make guests feel welcome, and move with purpose. I’m also reliable, great with communication, and always looking to learn. I’m excited to get my foot in the door and grow in this industry. Thank you for considering me—I’d love the chance to meet and show you what I can bring to the table.
Best,
Mercedes C Ofoegbu
