Job Application Letter for Waiter

Working as a waiter or waitress is a busy, fast paced and sometimes physically demanding job. It is very helpful if you have an interest in food and drink and essential that you can be patient and thick skinned as sometimes you may have to deal with unhappy customers. A good level of physical fitness and dexterity is important. Many waiters go on to specialise in areas like Silver Service or undertake training as Someliers (wine experts). You don’t always need experience as there are many apprenticeship roles available but some experience of working with people or food is advantageous.
