Dear Mr. Moore,

I am Arun. I am writing to express my interest for an evening part-time job as a waiter in your well-established five start hotel "The Breeze International". Hereby, I am sending you my resume in which you can find the details about my previous work experience and the qualification.

Begin a hotel management student; I have a good knowledge about customer's expectations with respect to quality of services provided in the hotels. In addition to that, I have been working as a part-time employee in the hotel "Lee Royal Merdian" as a usher for the past one year where I experienced on, how well to greet the customer in a polite and friendly manner.

Moreover, I have excellent communication skill in both English and French which is an added advantage to rake care of foreign guest to the hotel.

Based on my prior experience and knowledge, I hope that I am well suited for the existing open position in your hotel.

Thanks for considering my application for evening waiter job.

Yours Faithfully,
Arun

Hi Everyone, Kindly help me in identifying my mistakes in my writing. Thanks.

Wish if you combine the two lines as the first one is a bit too short and abrupt;
I am Arun (have your family name as well because this letter should sound a bit formal) and the purpose of my writing to you is to seek an opportunity for an evening part-time job at our hotel as a waiter.



customers' (many customers)
customer's ( one customer)

Thanks Dumi.

.... small typo, but it makes a big difference in the meaning :D


You could have also said that;
Being a hotel management student, working part-time in your hotel would enable me to gain practical exposure which would compliment my studies in a great way. Also, I would get an opportunity to translate the theory that I learned from my course books on servicing customers while working in your hotel.

Thanks Pahan. I will take of such typo errors. In my view, people who have prior practical experience will have more chance of grabbing the opportunity. Hence I have mentioned as if I have real time experience already in addition to be a student of Hotel management.

If I use "working part-time in your hotel would enable me to gain practical exposure which would compliment my studies in a great way"

and "I would get an opportunity to translate the theory that I learned from my course books on servicing customers"

will it suit for the rest of my letter about prior experience as it is mandatory to include them for this question.
Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

But anyway thanks for your sentences, which I can make use of them in my other writings :-)

You have a good point there. But at the same time you need to show him how you too gain out of the job so that he would be more considerate about your claim. What I mean is the employer would like to know how the employee would be benefited by the job he offers.

I think what is best is to talk about prior experience first, and then have this idea.

yes exactly the same what I think once I posted . Thank you very much.
