Kitchen porter cover letter example
A kitchen porter cover letter needs only a few lines: how busy your kitchen is, the prep and cleaning you do, your food hygiene level and when you can work. If you want to become a chef, say so.
Fictional letter from Jordan Mills, the applicant in the kitchen porter cv example. Every person and employer in it is invented.
Why each paragraph is there
I am applying for the Kitchen Porter job at your brasserie. I have two years' experience in a busy gastropub kitchen serving up to 150 covers on a Saturday, and I hold a Level 2 food hygiene certificate.
The job, how busy your kitchen is and your hygiene level.
At The Wheatsheaf I run the pot wash and dishwasher through service so the chefs never wait for clean pans, prepare the vegetables each morning and put away deliveries, rotating stock in the walk-in fridge.
What you do in a shift, in a kitchen's words.
I would like to train as a commis chef, and your brasserie's reputation for bringing porters into the kitchen brigade is why I am applying.
Your aim, and why this kitchen.
I can work evenings, weekends and bank holidays. My CV is attached, and I would be glad to do a trial shift. Thank you.
