I have read all your pointers on writing such a letter, but would like to see if you have any others pointers? Please? I would greatly apprecate it! Thank you! I am applying for a hospitality school to study for a degree in hospitality and management.
Regards, Emily
My name is Emily Savage, I am looking to begin studying for
a career in Hospitality. Such a career requires a person who is very outgoing,
has great people skills, someone practical and someone determined. I feel that
I have all these qualities. I am a person
who loves to interact with others on all levels. I enjoy the company of people.
I have a good ability to be smiling at any moment, making people feel as
comfortable around me as possible. I am a natural hostess, who loves
entertaining and will go out of her way to make sure that everyone is happy
with the event, and is comfortable about it. I am a determined girl who will
never give up getting something done, no matter how much stress I am under. I
handle stressed situations really well. I have always been told that I am a
quick thinker, and a very practical one at that. I will go for no less than the
best solution for a time and place, always correction or making it better
after, if it is possible.
At present, the only experience that I have had in the field
of hospitality, is working at a very popular restaurant in the suburb of
Northcliff, Johannesburg,
where I am gaining experience as a waitress, and a hostess. As well as this, I
have spent many hours with people who work in the industry, watching how they
work and asking many questions which have helped me decide that this is the
industry for me. The experiences include working with chef Nicky Gibbs of the
March Restaurant at the Melrose arch hotel, and
with the hostess at the well renowned Wombles restaurant in Parktown North, Johannesburg. Through
these experiences, I have come to see that I am a person who would love working
in this industry.
As well as being able to do something which I feel I can
excel at and would enjoy, I am also interested in the travel and learning
opportunities which a career in the industry can present. I would love to learn
and experiencne new and exciting cultures, lands and languages, which I feel
could benefit me greatly in such a career.
Thank you for your time
Emily Savage
