Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing this letter, as I am interested in applying for a position at Event cinemas,
as a part time/casual employee. I heard about the opportunity to be part of your team
through a friend who works at your company, and I found a chance to apply for a
position on your website. I would like to be considered for a role in the fields of Food &
Beverage, Box Office or Ushering. I am senior high school student seeking part time
employment, and I would greatly enjoy the opportunity to talk further with your
company about employment prospects.
I have had previous experience in the hospitality industry, volunteering at a caf at the
Sydney Adventist hospital. This experience has given me skills in food handling, and
customer interaction, as well as helping me learn efficiency in duties such as cleaning
up. These skills would be helpful for a position at your company that includes the
handling of food and drinks, as well as customer service. My experience working at the
caf taught me how to react under pressure, teaching me how to resiliently and
efficiently deal with stressful situations.
I have previously had the responsibility of babysitting, which taught me how to be
proactive in terms of safety considerations. My experience gained through this role has
helped me to look out for hazardous situations, and to react to them calmly, which can
apply to every area of employment, particularly roles involving food and beverages.
Babysitting also taught me to be service-focused, and patient, attributes which are
integral to positions involving customer relations.
Thankyou for considering me for a position at Event Cinemas. I feel confident in my
capability to perform the duties described in your job ad and would love the opportunity
to demonstrate that ability to you. Aside from the skills and qualifications I described
above, there are others listed on my resume that I think would make me a great fit for
this position. I would deeply appreciate the privilege of talking them over with you in
more detail. Thank you for any time and effort you take in reviewing my application.
Yours Sincerely,
Serena Horspool
