Fruit and Nut Picker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last three harvest seasons picking fruit and nuts with steady hands, and I’ve learned to trust the crop more than the calendar. At peak times I worked with teams of up to 12, focusing on size and ripeness to keep the bins moving. In practice, that means clean picks, minimal bruising, and avoiding overripe fruit that slows the line. I’ve kept my eye on the numbers too, aiming to fill containers consistently by shift. I’m comfortable with grading and sorting, packing into containers, and loading onto trucks, all while keeping the work safe and efficient. I’m good with routine checks, measuring fruit size, and sorting by grade so distribution runs smoothly after harvest. [Company Name] gets someone who sticks to the plan, communicates clearly, and knows how to adjust on a busy day. One season at [Previous Company], we faced a late hail event that damaged some fruit. I helped implement a quick triage system: assess ripeness, separate damaged fruit, and reallocate bins to reduce waste. We ended the day with significantly improved packing accuracy and fewer returns downstream, which kept our dispatch on schedule and limited spoilage in storage. I’m available to discuss how I can contribute to your harvest and packing team. I can start soon and adapt to your shift patterns. Kind regards, [Your Name]
