Multnomah Whiskey Library,

Beauty is important to me - the look, the feeling, the experience, the flavor, the sound, the expression. Life is a celebration of beauty and I want to offer my dedication and service to this core value should I work at your whiskey establishment.

I am writing to express my sincere interest in the position of a full-time host / front desk staff at your esteemed whiskey lounge in Portland. With my 10 years of experience in customer service, coupled with 6 years of working in the restaurant industry, I strongly believe that I possess the necessary skills and attributes to excel in this role.

A valuable and beautiful aspect of my lifestyle that would absolutely lend itself to the job is my relationship with tea and tea ceremony: I have cultivated a deep passion for the art of tea ceremonies, appreciating the intricate details and mindfulness it requires. My daily practice with and without others reinforces patience, meditation, a certain ease under pressure and a deep, powerful reverence for the people I serve.

Most of my career life has been within the entertainment industry as a creative : graphic design, animation and storyboarding are talents I have cultivated over the years. However, I have found my own personal creativity tapped out and exhausted by serving these massive studios. I miss the hustle and bustle of working in person with other people, laughing among colleagues and meeting fascinating, beautiful strangers who all share a common interest - be it wonderful cuisine or, in Multnomah Whiskey Library's case... whiskey. When I did work in the restaurant industry before my ventures into entertainment, my personal creative projects brimmed and excelled with passion, love and energy.

I really miss earning a living by supporting others, offering people a delightful experience and the feedback that occurs in realtime - either with my colleagues or with new & frequent customers. I miss using those personal experiences to fuel my art, network with wonderful people and just dance between the high pressures of serving and the tranquility of delivering warm experiences.

Working in the restaurant industry has taught me the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and attention to detail. I am well-versed in handling high-pressure environments, multitasking efficiently, and maintaining a keen eye for quality service. My diverse experience has given me the ability to seamlessly transition between various roles, making me highly versatile and reliable.

Beyond my technical competencies, I am dedicated to continuously expanding my knowledge in the field of my company's product. My enthusiasm for honing my craft is matched only by my desire to share this passion, educating others about the intricacies and phenomena involved with the distillery of whiskey.

In conclusion, my combined experience as a tea ceremonialist and my background in customer service and restaurant servicing align perfectly with the requirements of your whiskey lounge. My charismatic, kind, attentive, delightful, and patient nature further solidifies my suitability for this role. I am confident that my passion for connection and exceptional customer service skills would make a significant contribution to the success of your establishment.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further and to demonstrate how I can contribute to creating unforgettable experiences at your whiskey lounge. I can be reached at the phone number and email address provided below.

Sincerely,

Alyx Jolivet
