Trainee Hotel Managers Required |
Large hotel chain is offering training courses for potential hotel managers. Minimum of five GCSE passes, including maths. Candidates must be prepared to travel. Contact Anthony Finnigan. Crestmore Hotel. Braymond Road, Kingswood. |
Mr A Finnigan 26 Ardney Road Crestmore Hotel Bristol Braymond Road BS6 5HL Kingswood BS15 4 EW Telephone Bristol ( 0272 ) 27603
Dear Mr Finnigan,
I am currently in full time education studying three A-Level subjects in which I aim to achieve academic success this summer. I have seven GCSE passes including English and Maths. I have been considering the possibilities within the field of hotel management. However, training schemes within the town are very limited. I was recently interviewed by Mr Blakeat the White Horse Hotel for the position of trainee assistant manager. In view of my qualifications he told me of the training schemes within your company and gave me your address.
I am very interested in your training scheme and feel sure I would be suitable to do the job.
This is a career I have come increasingly to feel is suited to my outgoing personality and ambitious nature. As a career is important to me I have always felt that the mobility is a necessary factor to success. I hope you can help me.
Yours faithfully,
Jane Mason |
