Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the front of house position available at the Oast and
Squire in Fareham. I saw this opportunity when searching for jobs on your website. I am
currently working for a very busy family run cafe as a waitress and thoroughly enjoy the work
and customer interaction. However, I would like to expand my experience and your opportunity
not only allows me to do this but can offer more regular hours.

In the time I have been working at The Rose and Poppy, I have been barista trained, as well as
enhanced my customer service experience by greeting and serving customers, till / IT skills,
hygiene and also developed my teamwork skills. I believe your position would help me expand
further on my experience and knowledge.

I am hard working and thrive on a new challenge. I am an excellent time keeper and get
on well with people.

Thank you for considering my application and look forward to hearing from you.

With regards,

Beth McHugh
