A restaurant has advertised in a newspaper that a waiter/waitress is required for evening work. It has also been mentioned that the prospective candidate should have some experience.

Model Answer

Dear Mr Moore,

I am writing in regards to the job opening that you have advertised recently for the post of a waiter in your restaurant. I would like to apply for the position as my experience and personal qualities would make me a deserving candidate for the job.

Currently, I am studying the Hotel Management course at Hilson University. I want to utilise my summer holidays by working in an industry related to my studies. I have experience as a waiter at a local restaurant and I worked there for more than six months. My responsibilities involved taking orders and making sure that customers at my tables get their orders on time. Besides, I handled customer complaints. In addition, I also worked as a bartender at a bar for three months.

I am hard-working and punctual. All of my previous employers would be willing to give me a good reference if needed. Also, I am quite flexible and able to do all sorts of tasks. And my previous waiter experience would allow me to easily set in the vacancy at your restaurant.

Please spare some of your precious time to look at my resume which I am attaching with this letter. I can meet you in a formal interview to further discuss my candidacy.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Sandeep Parekh
