Dear Employer, The purpose of this letter...

Just as I was leaving my apartment this afternoon to walk around the CBD handing out my CV to any restaurant that would accept it, I received a phone call from an unknown number. When I answered my mobile it was an prospective employer responding to an application I put in just 2 hours prior. Both Will and I headed straight over there as he was also going to go about the city handing his CV out to look for a second just to compensate for my shortcomings in the financial department. The company I interviewed with answered a mystery that I'd been carrying around in my head since my initial arrival in Melbourne almost 2 years ago. I'd always wondered how these little hole-in-the-wall cafes in the lane ways produced and sold such lovely looking products when there was no proper kitchen in sight. My prospective new employer is the answer to kitchen-less cafes. They are their kitchen.

I was invited to come in for a trial day tomorrow morning to see if it was what I wanted. To be quite honest, at this point I just looking for a job in the hospitality industry. Long gone are the days where I can be choosy. My previous interview showed me that the good restaurants are not going to work around my timetable, neither are the cafes. This job is similar to my current, or should I say, previous job, in the way that I will have a similar job title with similar duties except the food is of much higher quality and the name of the company hints that.

I have to hand in a type letter of resignation, which I will do when I get hired tomorrow at my new job. Higher pay rate, great hours and great location. The best thing is that I know I can do the job.

I'm off to try out some recipes from The Silver Spoon cookbook, Italy's answer to Margaret Fulton's Encyclopedia of Food and Cookery or America's The Joy of Cooking.
