To whom it may concern:

I learned about the position of process engineer from TRS Staffing Solutions, which informed me that a global manufacturing company in Greensboro is actively seeking to hire quality individuals with background in plant design, capital cost, and economic analysis.

I am currently a junior chemical engineering major with knowledge in physics, mathematics, and general chemistry. I will be receiving my bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering next June of 2010 from Ohio University. I am confident that my combination of practical experience that I have gained during my previous jobs and my educational experience has prepared me for making a significant contribution to the company. My practical experience in the workplace has increased my communication skills and leadership roles while consistently being punctual and efficient on a day-to-day basis. Having been employed while attending classes at the university has given me the time management skills that have advanced my expertise in the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

My educational experience in various courses such as Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics has allowed me to excel in unit operations, process design, and kinetic interpretations of reactions. It has also further developed my knowledge of computer simulation with Microsoft Excel as well as MatLab in order to solve problems more quickly and proficiently. Outside of class, I am a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, which has widened my understanding of the field as well as given me the chance to interact with my fellow chemical engineers more closely.

I would be an excellent candidate for the process engineer position at your company. I am a diligent worker and enjoy being challenged and am capable of doing so. I would like to arrange a convenient time when we may meet to further discuss my background in relation to your needs. I will be contacting the office if I have not heard from you by March 15 to inquire a potential meeting date and time. Thank you for your consideration of me for the position available. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,



Brittney Gaborko
