Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position of recepcionist in your restaurant currently advertised in the local newspaper.
I am at present studying in my final year of secondary school. I am planning to study managment at university in Warsaw and I feel this job would fit in well witch such studies. At the same time, I hope the knowledge I will be gaining would help me in my work for you. I am fluent in English, German and of course Polish, and I have reasonable working knowledge of Spanish.
As you will see from the attached CV, I have done volounteer work at several conferences and film festivals. My duties at those events included both administrative work and face-to-face contact with guests. I registered participants, provided information and logistical support and several times I used my initiative to solve problems.
I believe I would make a reliable recepcionist as I am efficient, well-organised and proactive in dealing with problems. I have good communication skills, both face-to-face and on the telephone. I also find it easy to learn new computer applications.
I also would like to ask about several issues. First of all, could you be so kind and tell me how much the salary is? Secondly, I wonder if you could tell me about working conditions in your restaurant.
I can start working immedatiely as I am available all the time on the phone or under my E-mail: xxx/gmail/com.
I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss my suitability for this post in an interview. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
XYZ
