Dear Recruitment Manager,
Good day, my name is Toh Hua Ann and I am currently in third year of MEng Chemical Engineering at University of Birmingham. I am searching for a placement in industry to enable me to gain exposure to chemical engineering as a whole and to apply some of the knowledge I have learnt, in the field. I came across the internship opportunity for Chemical & Process Engineering on your website.
I have interests in developing new energy sources, especially fuel in the transport sector. This is because this is currently the most inefficient sector for fuel consumption and there will be many opportunities to improve existing technologies and fuel technologies. I enjoy finding and discovering potentials in most things related to technology. I have a strong drive to create new ways to handle existing problems or limitations, this is most important in the energy sector as non-renewable sources are eventually exhausted and new sources must be found to prevent the degeneration of human civilisation. I would like to work with BP as the complete infrastructure, facilities and highly skilled workforce at BP will serve as an enabler of future technologies, to buy time for developing future energies and developing the technology itself. It is more feasible to develop technology as part of a large group with the means, to have a chance to produce it and produce it relatively quickly.
My key strengths are:
- Awarded for most innovative design in Engineering Fair (Malaysia), identified the problem and proposed the solution and design.
- Involved in new design project lasting 3 months, since year 1, which gave me good exposure to the overall process of projects.
- During internship at ROVSKI, I
was exposed to IT, R&D, Sales & Marketing, and Production & Quality
Control, gaining broad knowledge of the overall process in a plant. Towards the
end of the internship, I was able to find new areas on site for development and
expansion.
Thank you for your time, I hope we can arrange a meeting and interview at your convenience.
Yours Faithfully,
Toh Hua Ann
