Dear Sir or Madame,

I am interested in applying for the Room Service position. I have included my resume for your consideration.

I would love to work in this position, because I like to take care of patients and help them to get what services they need. I want to make them feel comfortable and help support them with their needs and concerns so that they are happier. For Spanish speaking patients, I would be able to translate any questions they might have about their nutrition and diets from their doctor’s prescriptions. I feel that this support is very important.

I believe that this would be a great opportunity for me, because I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I could serve a greater number of patients because of this. I am currently taking some English as a Second language classes at the MLC Learning Center-Rondo to further improve my English for this position. I have my high school diploma, and I plan on going to St. Paul Community College for a Spanish Interpreter degree. This job would allow me to use these skills to great benefit.

I have been working at H.C.M.C for 2 years in the cafeteria helping Spanish speaking patients order food and translating what they are looking for. I also helped Spanish speakers find departments where they had appointments with intake staff. I have experience using patient and employee accounts to charge food at the register, so I understand the importance of record-keeping. I am a very quick leaner and a hard worker. I always want to learn more to serve people better. I have an excellent attendance record and have worked double shifts. Supervisors have relied on me to substitute when other workers have called in sick.

I look forward to telling you more about myself. To schedule an interview, please contact me at (612)703-5579.

Sincerely,


Patricia M. Guerrero
