Things have changed. The economy is in the toilet so I'm looking for job security. The boss is retiring so I've got the ball rolling for promotion/manager position. I'm writing a letter to the President to let her know I'm very interested. Interested what I wrote?!? Any tips or suggestions would be welcome.
I truly enjoy working for the company. The company provides a comfortable, professional atmosphere between coworkers and guests. However, I am looking for new challenges, and in recognizing this, Joe suggested I submit my resume for the manager position. I am writing this letter to express my interest, and I would like to discuss this new opportunity within the company.
I have been at Soundside for over 4 years. My job requires me to be a jack-of-all-trades. At times, I can be a mail center, call center, payment center, housekeeper, concierge all in one. I have processed millions of dollars in maintenance fees, rentals fees, etc. It has been my duty to make sure the guests have the most enjoyable experience with what the resort offers and to inform them of the local activities. My knowledge and experience would be an easy thing to carry into the manager position. These qualities would be useful in training a potential replacement for the front desk also. Living on the property would not be a problem and I would dedicate myself 100% to this company.
There are several things that I have learned along the way. The seminar you sent me helped me greatly. It showed me how to effectively deal with difficult people. This job has shown me the virtues of being organized. This job has shown me the importance of teamwork. My coworkers respect me and we work well together. When Joe had occasions to be out of town, he would do so knowing that I could handle any issue, any time. If you approve of how Joe has handled the resort, I have learned under him, and will strive to continue with the same professionalism.
I am not one to toot my own horn but I have a great rapport with the owners. It is not unusual for me to get baked goods or offered tips for my services. I can refer several longtime owners like Peggy Moore (owns 8 units) and Gwen Estes who have given commendations. My marks on the RCI ratings are very good. Joe, Rosie and Jimmy can attest that I am capable and competent.
The reason I mention all the above is to let you know that I will do whatever it takes to keep this a thriving business.
Sincerely,
Brett
I'm going to try not to get my hopes up too high. But it would be great to have my own apartment! The move could be as soon as early January! To be frank, my sex life has been pretty fucking pathetic lately. If I do move out, there's a girl I've been talking to lately. I'm getting the signals that it's on.
1) I was driving to to work, and some dude tried pulling into my lane without his blinkers. I zoom past, then he swerves all over the place, wringing his hand and flashing his headlights.
2) Same day, I was driving home from work and saw a pickup truck with license plate "FAIL" and that gave me the lolz. (I made me think of the Auto bailout which is like epic fail.)
3) Is BMW the official car for assholes? I heard somewhere that it was.
^^^total random bmw douche I googled
But I digrest because I've always liked beemers and I know a certain someone who has one. And he has a brief history of being a asshole. We'll discuss that some other time. Everything's cool now so whatevas...
Tattooed and pierced people are seen as more promiscuous, Psychology Today finds. In other news_dog bites man! "A team of anthropologists at the University of Goettingen in Germany found that men and women with tattoos or piercings beyond earlobes are more sensation-seeking and promiscuous than the unadorned_as well as less friendly." Sure, there's nothing that says "fuck you" to society as well as a pierced or tattooed face. But are they actually more promiscuous, or just seen that way?
Tattoos and piercings send social signals. In some cultures, you're saying, "I'm healthy"_suffering the pain and health risks of body modification demonstrates biological fitness. In ours, the message is more like, "I'm down for anything."
But now that body art has crossed from punk rock to soccer mom, it doesn't mean all that it used to. The Germans found that the ornamented are no more extroverted, neurotic, careless, or open to new experiences. And they score no differently on measures of sexual orientation, masculinity, femininity, body image, or association with subcultures. Further, a team of sociologists at Texas Tech found no link among Southern college students between religiousness and number of piercings or tattoos.
So... not, then? This article is confusing! In review: tattoos and piercings send a signal, except for when they don't.
