During my first semester with the Culinary Institute, I was requested by Mr. Blake Hallman and Dean Saboe to participate in the 2015 Vintner’s Dinner. This dinner is a 600 guest, four course wine dinner that brought in over $465,000 in donations. A quote from Mr. Blake Hallman: “Although we typically require students to have completed our dining room class before participating, I waived that requirement based on Ms. Perkins’ level of professionalism, high energy, and solid communication skills. She is a mature woman who also comes with strong administrative skills.” I believe that my resume fully details my qualifications for a sales position with your property. I am willing to participate in management training or any other training that your company offers in order to grow as a valuable asset to you. I look forward to speaking with you regarding eventual employment with your company as this is what I have waited for and the reason I returned to school.

Although I am a full time student, I am available 5 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Debbie H Perkins
