Motivations :
Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
I worked for the last years in France as Executive Chief Cook, then Manager and ultimately as Director of restaurant, especially in a widely known restaurant of the "Promenade des Anglais" at Nice, on the French Riviera.
I would now definitely like to work abroad and bear this particular and delicious French food that I know so well to your Country. I am persuaded that to come back to my previous job as Chief Cook, while keeping excellent contact with my customers remains my main incentive.
I am a finicky man, and wish to preserve essentially the quality and diversity of the food, but remaining also in charge of its outstanding presentation.
The organization, the coaching, the supervision and the direction of a restaurant gave me the prime desire to continue this function, but I want also to come back toward my first job. It's for me a necessity and I am quite certain that this will permit me to ostensibly express me better.
Therefore, I submit you my candidacy as a Chief executive Cook in your establishment and would like to convince you of my great desire to develop this French cuisine that can be even better known.
I regularly traveled a lot and I don’t have a domestic attachment, I am available to work at any time.
If you want to contact me, call me or send me an email to the above numbers, and I am ready to meet you to express you more in detail my incentives.
I join you my C.V, which also describes my professional experience.
Thanking you for the attention that you carry to my candidacy and looking forward to hear from you.
