Applying for a Job (2): Head Chef

Dear Sir/Madam,

Regarding your advertisement in the Corriere della Sera, I would like to express my interest in the head chef position at the restaurant, Reggio Calabria, in Rome.

I am currently working as a head chef at the Italian restaurant, Marini's, in Turin, where I have been putting my own stamp on traditional dishes, creating new combinations and experimenting with <a id="FALINK_2_0_1" class="FAtxtL" href="#">new flavours</a> (US: flavors) during the last five years.

I have worked at several Italian restaurants since 2001, when I graduated from <a id="FALINK_1_0_0" class="FAtxtL" href="#">culinary school</a>. Since then, I also have gained experience in managing, staff rosters, pricing, ordering for a large establishment, menu design and new menu creation. I am excellent at following orders and working as part of a team, but can also delegate and take charge when required.

I am a hardworking, enthusiastic and very creative person, who is passionate about Italian cuisine. I desire to continue growing professionally, and take my career to the next level.  Therefore, I would be happy to place my knowledge and effort at your disposal.

Thank you for your consideration and valuable time. I look forward to hearing from you, and having the opportunity to further discuss my suitability for this position. 

Yours faithfully,

Alessio C.
