Attention Hiring Manager,
My name is Rattan Bhamrah and I have obtained a Bachelor of Applied
Science, Honours in Mechanical Engineering from the University Of Waterloo.
I am highly interested in the job position available at your facility and
truly believe that I am sufficiently qualified to succeed in this job.
I have achieved consistent academic success throughout high school which
has continued throughout my years of university as well. I have worked on
many practical projects throughout my undergraduate studies and am looking
forward to applying what I have learned thus far. Through consistent hard
work and dedication I have attained proficiency in MS Office, especially
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Project, AutoCAD, programming in
C++, and Adobe Photoshop. I would like to get an opportunity to further
refine my skills and attain expertise in these programs as well.
I have excellent communication skills gained by working with Mr. HiFi. I
worked there as a customer care and sales representative and was mainly
responsible for solving customer inquiries about desired products. I
played a crucial role in overseeing the Annual Traffic Count Program and in
administrating the Tender Process at the Corporation of the Town of
Markham. During my term at the City of Toronto, I further refined my
tendering skills by putting together, and then issuing out, tender
packages. I also developed in-depth knowledge of interpreting engineering
drawings, and also assisted senior engineers at pumping stations and water
mains. Through my hard work at Multimatic Dynamic Suspensions, I have
developed beneficial knowledge of quality control and how important quality
testing is for production. Process efficiency has been a major key area of
learning throughout my time at The Peelle Company by carrying out time
studies and seeing how to streamline certain processes. Working with
Magna, I have gained extensive knowledge on troubleshooting and future
prevention of various plant related issues through working with all
departments and also with suppliers in keeping good relations.
Moreover, I have demonstrated excellent group/team leadership skills by
organizing and participating in the South Asian Assemblies in all of my
years at Downsview Secondary School as well as in university. I also teach
classical music to persons, both younger and older than me, improving my
communications and social skills every step of the way.
In conclusion, I truly hope that you consider me for this position. I feel
that I would prove to be a valuable asset to your engineering team
considering my experience in working alongside external contacts such as
contractors, vendors, customers etc.; along with assisting senior managers
with carrying out/planning/scheduling various projects. I also feel that I
will be in a privileged position to refine these skills and also gain
valuable hands on experience. Thank you very much for your time and
consideration, and I hope to hear from you in the future.
Yours Sincerely,
Rattan Bhamrah
