Chemical Engineer
Resume:
Hello,
Enclosed is my resume for an entry-level chemical engineer position.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan with experience working in laboratory settings and with
process design. I have worked as a lifeguard for several years, where I was responsible for the safety of patrons
as well as my fellow coworkers. Through my academic and work experience, I have obtained leadership skills that
I aim to utilize in my future career as an engineer.
I am seeking a position that I can apply my skills as a chemical engineer, as well as my ability to work in teams,
my leadership skills, and eagerness to gain experience that will aid me in my career as an engineer.
Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Meranda Karlskin
