求職信是寫信人就某一職位向收信人提出請求。廚師在寫求職信時應當注意禮貌，同時也要注意資訊的可信度。尤其是在強調自身經歷和優點的時候，更應把握尺度。
Dear Mr. Jones:
In regard to the open cook position you have posted on Monster, I am very interested in the opportunity. Perhaps after reading this letter and enclosed resume, you will agree we have a mutually beneficial reason to meet. My credentials include:
-12+ years of cooking experience in a hotel setting.
-A track record of increasing clientele by preparing top-quality meals and maintaining high standards of excellence.
-Respected leadership skills with experience training and motivating kitchen staff to work together as a team.
-Expertise in menu planning and food/supplies ordering.
-An uncompromising emphasis on quality, sanitation, waste reduction and cost savings.
ABC Hotel’s mission and commitment to serving customers and the community is one that I share wholeheartedly. As a cook for Action Resort, I maintained an excellent performance record (using only two sick days throughout my 12-year tenure with the company) and earned a reputation for dedication, teamwork and a roll-up-your-sleeves work ethic.
The cook position sounds like an outstanding opportunity, and I would welcome the chance for an interview to discuss your needs and outline my strengths in person. You may reach me at 718-555-1212. Thank you for your time and consideration of my resume, and I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Jessie B. Fairbanks
