Dear Sir / Madam,

To Whom It May Concern
 

I am a single, 24 year old female who is currently employed at Joe Bloggs Travel Agents in Bristol. I have been working there for the past 2 years since my graduation from Bristol University with a BA (Hons) in Tourism Management. I started as a Trainee and now hold the position of Senior Travel Advisor.

I am interested in undertaking a Placement in Hospitality Management so that I can enhance my skills and broaden my experience in the travel industry. I am seeking a placement of between 6 and 9 months in an environment that will allow me exposure to the full range of experiences. I am willing to consider a placement with any organisation, in any location.
 
My degree courses gave me the theoretical knowledge within the industry and my time within the Travel Agents has supplemented this with practical experience. I have undertaken various in-service training modules in addition to participating on a 2-week intensive course relating to airline booking.

I am a keen, enthusiastic, hard-working person who has a sense of humour and excellent communication skills. I enjoy languages and have a good working knowledge of Spanish. I am currently taking a basic course in German.
 
I have enclosed by Resume/CV and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my suitability with you for the vacancy that you have advertised. I look forward to hearing from you should you feel that my previous experiences and qualifications indicate that I might be suited to the position.
 
 
Yours faithfully
 
 
 
Julia Markx
