範文 Sample Essay |
Dear Mr Wong, I am writing to express my keen interest in applying for a work transfer to the Shanghai branch of the Park Hotel. As a dedicated and experienced employee, I believe that this transfer would be mutually beneficial for both myself and the organization. First and foremost, please allow me to highlight my work experience during my tenure at the Park Hotel in Hong Kong. I completed the company-wide 3-year rotational training program, which has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of various hotel operations. Throughout my training, I had the opportunity to work in different roles, ranging from guest services, housekeeping, maintenance to front office management. This diverse experience has honed my skills in handling inquiries and complaints, providing concierge services, maintaining orderliness and managing teams. Following the rotational training, I have specialized in guest services for the past four years. During this time, I had the privilege of serving numerous high-profile guests, including heads of state during a summit meeting held at our hotel in 2022. The exceptional feedback and recognition I received, including the award for the highest-rated staff in the same year, further reinforced my dedication and commitment to providing excellent service for hotel guests. The desire to transfer to the Shanghai branch stems from a combination of personal and professional reasons. On a personal level, I have developed a deep appreciation for the vibrant culture and dynamic lifestyle that Shanghai offers. The city's energy and cosmopolitan atmosphere have always fascinated me, and I believe that immersing myself in such an environment would greatly enrich my personal growth by working with different people and experiencing work cultures beyond Hong Kong. From a professional standpoint, a transfer to the Shanghai branch would allow me to leverage my existing skill set while gaining exposure to international visitors and corporate clientele. Shanghai, being a global business hub, attracts a significant number of travelers from different backgrounds. As a native Mandarin and English speaker, I can effectively communicate and cater to the needs of these diverse guests. My proficiency in both languages and my adaptability would undoubtedly help drive customer loyalty and ensure the hotel's continued success. Moreover, I believe that my skill set can contribute to the hotel's success on a larger scale. The establishment of the Shanghai branch is a significant milestone for our hotel franchise in building its presence on the mainland China map. The new branch was founded in 2020, amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus many of the newly recruited staff have not received proper training due to lockdowns and restrictions. With my comprehensive knowledge of cross-departmental hotel operations, I can assume the crucial responsibility of smoothening the transition and supporting the developmental stages of the Shanghai branch. My experience and expertise would be invaluable in training and guiding the newly recruited staff, ensuring that they meet the high standards set by our organization. It is my conviction that a work transfer to the Shanghai branch of the Park Hotel would not only fulfill my personal aspirations but also bring substantial benefits to the organization. With my extensive work experience, passion for the industry, and language proficiency, I am confident in my ability to make a positive impact in Shanghai. I genuinely appreciate your consideration for this transfer, and I look forward to playing a pivotal part in the hotel's growth and success in Shanghai. Thank you for your time and attention. Yours sincerely, Chris Wong |
