Yoo Song Kim
Summary
After graduating from high school, I have built extensive hands-on experience in the trades, including new home construction, plumbing, and appliance installation. While I value the skills and discipline I’ve developed in this field, my strongest personal interest has always been in coffee.
I am now looking to reduce my current workload and pursue an opportunity in the coffee industry, where I can grow and contribute with genuine passion. During this transition, the first company that came to mind was Starbucks, a globally recognized leader that sets the standard in the coffee industry. I believe that my background in the trades—particularly my strong work ethic, reliability, and problem-solving skills—would be a valuable asset to your Starbucks team.
I would greatly appreciate your consideration without bias toward my previous field, and I am eager for the opportunity to demonstrate my dedication and enthusiasm for this role.
