I was delighted to learn of the Thayer Lodging Group’s Rotational Internship opportunity through the Career Management Office at Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration. Recently, I declared a sales and marketing concentration, which will enable me to integrate
what I’ve learned, both in the classroom and through my work experience, at Thayer Lodging. I am confident my skills and interests are a good match for this position.
This past summer, I worked for the Westin Crown Center in downtown Kansas City as a Six Sigma Intern. Learning this quality management strategy enabled me to enhance and execute my analytical and management skills. While at Westin, I collected data by running time trials
for a new Westin meetings concept. After assembling and analyzing the data, I developed an Excel labor savings model that compared the traditional meeting concept versus the new meeting concept. In addition, I helped write the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for this
project based on suggestions for improvement from the housemen and directors as well as from my own observations.
Over the last several years, I have gained practical experience in leading teams. I recently served as the marketing director for the 84th Annual Hotel Ezra Cornell, a student-run conference for hospitality industry leaders. In this role, I led a team of seven to ensure high levels of
attendance during challenging economic times for the service industry.
I believe my education and experiences can benefit Thayer Lodging and have enclosed my resume for your review. Thank you for your consideration. I will contact you within the next week to possibly arrange a time to discuss my qualifications. If you would like to contact me
sooner, you can reach me at flxx@cornell.edu or (607) xxx-xxxx. I look forward to speaking
