Vegetable Picker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last three years hand-picking from early morning greens to keep quality high on the shop floor. At [Previous Company], I helped cut waste by handling fruit and veg with care, using ripeness indicators and basic safety checks. I’ve worked through frost periods and busy harvest days, and I know what to look for to keep produce moving without delays. I’ve kept up with the packing line and helped load containers onto lorries when needed. I’m comfortable with sorting and grading by size and ripeness, and I understand how to discard anything rotten or over‑ripe before it leaves the line. I can separate bunches, pack into containers, and label for easy stacking on pallets. I pay attention to quality standards, keep handling gentle to prevent damage, and I’m mindful of manual lifting limits on a busy shift. I’m keen to apply these skills at [Company Name]. One shift stands out: we faced a sudden spike in produce volume after a market run, and I helped re‑sort a backlog of 2 pallets in under two hours. I focused on separating ripe from unripe, packing efficiently, and keeping the line moving without compromising product condition. The team avoided extra restock delays and there was less waste from bruising. It felt good to contribute practically and see the numbers line up with the day’s targets. I’m available for a chat to discuss how I can contribute at [Company Name]. If you’d like to arrange a time, I’m flexible over the next week and can come in for a trial shift. Kind regards, [Your Name]
