Mr. Bert Flan
Human Resources Manager
Omni Hotels
972 Medford Plaza Avenue
Frankfort, KY
Dear Mr. Flan:
I am very interested in the banquet server position at Omni Hotels. I am a good fit for the job for many reasons, the main one being my knowledge of providing customer service in an upscale hotel restaurant.
Setting up and breaking down banquets is one of my strongest points. Ensuring that all dishes are replenished in time at the buffet table is just one area that I am well-versed in. I am also exceptionally talented in serving food and beverages, and can effectively bus tables.
In addition, I am aware of the many aspects of working in a server role in a banquet setting, such as keeping glasses filled, removing each round of plates, and handling special requests. Also, I possess some knowledge of arranging table placements, and can effectively maintain high standards of safety and cleanliness.
I will be in the vicinity of the hotel on Tuesday next week and will drop in to see if you are free to see me. In the interim, Please feel free to contact me at (000) 222-4875 for any further information that you may need in order to process my job application.
Sincerely,
Carl Sagan
