Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of Cook at your institution. With over five years of experience as a cook in multiple settings, I believe my skills and qualifications make me an ideal candidate.
Most recently, I was employed as a lead cook at a large cafeteria, where I was responsible for managing all kitchen operations. This included scheduling staff, purchasing food, and preparing meals for up to 500 people per day. During my time there, I developed a reputation for consistently producing delicious and nutritious dishes that were always in high demand from the customers. Furthermore, I was able to reduce food waste by nearly 20%, which resulted in significant cost savings.
In addition to my professional experience, I also hold a culinary arts degree from Johnson & Wales University and am ServSafe certified. My commitment to excellence extends beyond the kitchen as well — I am an excellent team player, able to work with staff of all levels.
I would be thrilled to bring my knowledge and experience to your institution. Please find enclosed a copy of my resume for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon to discuss this opportunity further.
Sincerely,
John Doe
