Hi,
Dear Employer;
I am writing to apply for a position in your business as a tourism intern.
I am from Turkey and I graduated from the Ankara Anatolian Hotel and Tourism Vocational High School, which is one of the best such institutions in Turkey. I began a degree in Tourism and Hospitalty Management in Balıkesir University, but in the third year I postponed my education for a time in order to gain more practical experience in business. I felt that this would help me in my later university education. While I was working in the tourism sector, I realised that the 8 years of theoretical knowledge which I had already gained was sufficient, and that I still needed to get more practical experience. I especially want to work in other countries to learn about their tourism systems and visions.
I am currently working in the C-K Farabi Hotel, Ankara, as a Reception Clerk. I believe that I have the skills and qualities that you are looking for. I am outgoing and open-minded, with experience of relating to customers with hospitality, patience, respect and consideration. My current position as Front Desk Clerk requires initiative and self-confidence, as well as the ability to communicate effectively with people at all levels. In addition to having these particular qualities, I am a reliable and hardworking person who is always willing to learn more, and I fully commit to the tasks I am given. I love working in a team. This is a very important point for me, because I strongly believe that a good team is the key to success for any business. I have to indicate this once more. I am a very successful team player, which is a crucial point, especially in hospitality.
I consider this is a great opportunity for me to gain an international, professional and wonderful experience in American business life, and also to benefit from a cultural exchange. During my education, I was able to acquire general ideas about management and business life. Furthermore, other internships and my business experiences have enhanced my professional knowledge.They have improved my skills in problem solving and human relations. They have also enabled me to broaden my perspectives and develop my existing skills, because I had the opportunity to meet and interact with various people and observe different business environments..
I am able to work in the USA on a J1 or Q visa for 12 months as a tourism intern, on a paid basis. I have all the necessary legal documents and a social security number through the sponsorship of Ozman International Education Services, recognised by The State Department of the US government. I can be available within a month, as soon as I am accepted in the job position.
I am very enthusiastic and ambitious. I will be an efficient member of your team, if you decide to employ me. I m enclosing my resume, and I would be happy and grateful to receive a call for an interview.
Best wishes and good luck with this, Clive
