have completed my Diploma in Hotel Management (DHM) and am interested in an internship as a Kitchen Helper in a hotel. I can assist chefs with cooking, keep the kitchen clean, wash dishes, and organize ingredients and tools. I follow hygiene and safety rules and enjoy working as part of a team. I am eager to learn, gain practical experience, and contribute to the smooth running of the kitchen.
