I have been working as a bartender at [Restaurant] for the past three years. It’s a stimulating and interesting job that has provided me with valuable expertise in customer service, while teaching me a lot about the hospitality industry.
However, there is a time and place for everything, and the time has come for me to move on to new adventures. I would love to start this new journey with you as a barista at [Café]!
I’m convinced I’m the right person for the job!
There are many reasons why I feel that [Café] should choose me for this job. The most important are:
The jobs I have had in the past have given me valuable experiences that I would bring to the barista position. My role as a bartender at [Restaurant] has provided me with valuable experience in customer service and working in a high tempo environment.
In the past, I have also worked as a waiter at [Restaurant].
Secondly, I feel that my educational background makes me well suited for a job at [Café]. Aside from my High School diploma, I have an Associate degree in marketing from Purdue University and I have also completed several Spanish classes.
Last, but not least, I believe that my personality makes me well suited for a job at [Café]. I am able to communicate clearly, and in a way that establishes trust, and I have a great degree of empathy. Additionally, I have always had good use for my sense of how to deliver good service.
A cover letter can say a lot about a person, but certainly far from everything. I have my fingers crossed in the hope that I will get to meet you to tell you more about myself, and how I might contribute to the future success of [Café].
Yours truly,
Sharon Ramirez
