Default Re: self introduction

This is very simple. It's called a 'cover letter'. It has 5 primary parts:

1. Name and age (birthdate).
2. Where you were born and where you live currently.
3. Your educational background, and your current occupation (in detail).
4. A little about your family situation (married or single, living with parents, etc.)
5. Your hobbies or interests, clubs, organizations, etc.

If it's sent by e-mail should also include an attached current photo. If you are sending to a foriegn county, you should also include a scanned copy of your passport.

It shouldn't be too 'wordy' but it needs to be accurate and interesting to read at the same time. It shouldn't be any longer than one page.

Good luck! :)

Default Re: self introduction

You didn't mention in what countries you were applying... If you send any letters of introduction, CVs, etc to hotels in the US or Canada, you do not have to (and are usually recommended not to) state your age, sex or marital status. Also, by law in those countries, prospective employers cannot ask you that information.
