Re: Food Service Worker

Dear Louis Stevens,
I was passing by your restaurant this morning and saw that you’re looking for a food service worker, so I went home and typed up a resume, which I’m attaching to this letter.

I’ve had more than a decade of experience in working with food in restaurants and at catered affairs, and I know all about handling food in a hygienic way and making sure that the rest of the area looks presentable, too. I’m a capable, fast worker who treats customers politely.

The type of work that I know how to do includes helping the cook with preparing meals, sort of like being the cook’s right hand and doing whatever I’m told. When I worked at catered events, I’d ladle out the portions evenly and attractively, and doing a little bit of customizing the dishes if someone wanted less cheese or more sauce on their plate.

I washed the utensils used by the cook and cleaned the appliances periodically, and made sure we never got a negative citation from the Department of Health due to lack of cleanliness.

I’d like to meet with you regarding the position, so please be in touch with me at 555-444-3333 or by emailing me and I’ll come over when you want.

Thank you.
Steve Powell
