Lexington,KY
Summary
I have discussions open with other employers, but YES. This is the job I want. I Imagine 21c Museum Hotel as my perfect job situation. I believe I am skilled and experienced enough to handle the requirements you have listed for this housekeeping position. At one time I used to volunteer at your facility when it was simply "The Lexington History Museum". My late aunt, Karen Mitchell LaBach was an artist who inspired me to join her as a docent. I loved every minute volunteering and was sad when it closed. I haven't had a chance to see the old Fayette County courthouse now that it has been transformed into the 21c Museum Hotel and I can't wait to see it.
