Sample Cover Letter

Here is a sample cover letter I wrote to apply for a position at the Hilton...

7/600 Station St

Carlton North

26th February 2010

To:

Personnel Manager

Bistro Dejeuner

Crabbe St, East Melbourne

Dear Sir or Madam,

Application for position as Food and Beverage Supervisor,

Hilton Melbourne South Wharf

I am pleased to submit an application for the above position, which was advertised on your website. My resume is attached.

As you will see from my resume, I have been working in the hospitality industry for many years, mainly at the Nataraj Restaurant in Camberwell. I started there as a casual waiter while I was studying at Swinburne, and worked my way up to the position of General Manager, with responsibilities for operations, staff supervision and training, and all aspects of service delivery and management. I very much enjoy a leadership and mentoring role, and I believe I am very effective in it.

However, I have spent too long in this single position, and I recently resigned to give myself time to find a career role in a larger and more structured organization, which would present wider challenges and give me an opportunity to grow further in the industry.

I hope that you will give me an opportunity for an interview, so that I can provide more information about my skills and background, and find out more about what your requirements are for the above position. I am available at any time, and I look forward to your further advice.

Yours sincerely,

Radja Verhage
