Depending on where you work, a host or hostess has different responsibilities.
If you’re working in a small guesthouse, for example, you may be in charge of cooking for guest as well as arranging when they’ll be coming, setting up their rooms with fresh bed linens, and welcoming them to your establishment.

If you’re working in a large hotel, however, hopefully there will be many other staff members who are responsible for their own part in ensuring that guests have an enjoyable time while staying at your workplace, whether they’re on vacation, on a business trip, or coming to recuperate from a medical saga.
This cover letter for a hostess (or host) should be personalized according to your experiences.

Re: Hostess – Job Post
Dear Irene Johnson,
Your job posting for a hostess caught my eye and I’m pleased to enclose my resume to be considered for the position.
As an experienced hostess with ten years of working in the hospitality field, my qualifications match the job listing and my professional yet caring demeanor should reflect positively on your firm and result in satisfied clients becoming repeat clients.
My orientation is toward providing superior service to clients, starting from the welcome they receive upon arrival, continuing with the suggestions I offer for opportunities for touring in the area, ensuring that tastefully presented meals are provided, and explaining the differences in cuisine between what they’re used to and what is served in our locale.
At my current position, I supervise the cleaning staff in a friendly but clear fashion, and make certain that rooms are ready for guests, grounds are well kept, and laundry is timely processed.
I hope to hear from you in the near future regarding the possibility of my coming in for an interview during which we can discuss the position further.
My contact information is at the top of the page.
Thank you in advance.
Wanda Smith
