Dear Sir/Madam:

APPLICATION FOR POSITION OF ENGINEER

In response to the NTU Campus Recruitment Talk on 17 Sep 2009, I am writing to express my interest in an Engineering position at ExxonMobil. I believe my dynamic personality and diverse education in engineering as well as business & finance complement well with the environment at ExxonMobil which values team work, leadership qualities and adaptability to exciting opportunities in job rotations. My completion of a Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Nanyang Technological University in July 2010, and previous work experience at A*STAR Exploit Technologies (ETPL) and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) will serve me well in the position sought.

My course of study at NTU has provided me with a robust training that uniquely combines Chemical Engineering with the life sciences, positioning me well for work with oil & gas as well as next-generation biofuels undertaken by ExxonMobil. The core modules have, for instance, imparted a good understanding of process design and control, and helped to develop strong analytical and conceptual skills in me. This is augmented by my knowledge of petroleum refining and relevant safety issues that have been sharpened with the undertaking of specialized modules in the final year of my course.

Besides my course in engineering, I have also completed a Bachelor of Science in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University in 2008 through part-time studies, and am in the midst of pursuing the ACCA Qualification. My training in business & finance was further built upon during my past internship experience at ETPL, having been attached to the division responsible for commercializing A*STAR biomedical technologies.

    Individuals take engineering as something distance to their lives due to rigorous courses to get through. As some would say that it is not worth it, other clever individuals have figured this out. To be a chemical engineer, an individual explores and takes on other sciences to create important products to better peoples lives. As Mark and Sherri Devaney stated, “…Chemical Engineers are charged primarily with finding ways to put science and engineering principles to work…” with their purpose being, “…to help corporations and organizations create useful, cost effective products that will benefit consumers…”.(pg. 43) As it was brought up earlier, to be a chemical engineer, one must apply other subjects and fields. It is typical to begin these processes earlier in life. “High school students interested in chemical engineering should take all of the mathematics and science courses that their schools offer.” As explained by Ferguson. (pg. 44) While one is solely not focused on one particular area, the variety of knowledge that an individual should obtain would benefit that person in a plethora of ways. An individual should take on chemical engineering due to requirement of diverse knowledge, the striving to better them self, and to increase their potential.…

    My undergraduate education at Federal University of Technology Owerri, has provided me with a strong and comprehensive background in environmental technology and management. The curriculum included all the basic courses such as Pollution control (air, water and land), Environmental impact assessment and mitigation, Solid waste management, Environmental science, Ecology, Industrial waste management and offshore engineering, a viable sector I realized with limitless opportunities in the Oil and Gas industries and its impact to the environment not only in my country Nigeria but to the rest of the world. As a young boy I always picked interest in uncommon issues and developed love for what others find challenging, due to the energy, risk and time associated with the oil spill control and prevention many Nigerians are found wanting in the field thus sparking up my interest to pursue the said career. I have always read books and journals on the advancing technology and engineering in Environmental management to fully equip me for the challenges ahead in achieving my goals.…
