Dear Hiring Manager,
Position of Process Engineer
I am a penultimate year Chemical Engineering undergraduate at National University of Singapore (NUS). I learnt about the job opportunities at CB&I through the NUS Career Fair 2012. As a company that is at the forefront of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) industry in the world, CB&I is constantly growing breaking new barriers which are evident through its numerous patented technologies. I am strongly interested in applying for the position of Process Engineer as I believe that I have a right mix of skills and experiences that are relevant to the job position.
My Final Year Design Project and Industrial Attachment have reinforced my strong interest in design and engineering. Through my Design Project, I was able to master HYSYS and discover the delights of designing plants and plant equipment. Further, as a Product Stewardship Intern at CTI Chemicals Asia Pacific, I had the wonderful opportunity to learn about the various ins and outs of the petrochemical industry. I contributed towards the health, safety and environment (HSE) issues of my company’s products and liaised with different departments to coordinate their HSE activities. I was also responsible for creation of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for various regional-level manufacturing projects in Indonesia, Australia, etc. Therefore, I was not only able to enhance my technical knowledge on the petrochemical industry but also, acquire multi-tasking and presentation skills.
I further improved my soft skills through my various tenures in numerous committees in NUS. As the Treasurer and Marketing Head in various Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs), I successfully led and organized many inter-club and inter-varsity competitions with the help of my committee members. For instance, I planned an annual karate camp for both local and international participants, for a budget of $3000 in 2011. These roles helped me to hone my organizational, leadership and teamwork skills, especially in an inter-cultural setting.
As the Head of the Internal Project Team during my Overseas CIP Project to Laos in 2006, I organized teaching plans and lessons for about 80 Laotian children. Despite the new challenges faced by the team in Laos, I adapted the teaching plans to suit the new changes with the help of my team quickly. I thereby honed my skills as an effective problem solver and a flexible worker. Moreover, I learnt to handle stressful situations with less agitation.
I believe that a career at CB&I will give me an opportunity to be part of a dynamic industry. As a highly motivated person who values perfection and adventure, I believe that the challenging job scope and comprehensive training program provided by CB&I will go well with my career aspirations. Given the chance, I believe that I will be able to contribute to CB&I successfully.
My resume is hereby attached, with greater detail upon my CCA and academic achievements. If after reviewing my resume, you believe there is a match, please contact me at the contact details provided. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,

Blog Post 2: Resolving Interpersonal Conflicts
The situation is:
Hillary is the Chairperson of her Aerobics club. Her position requires her to plan and organise events for the Aerobics members throughout the year, together with her committee. At the start of the year, Hillary had divided the events between herself and Max, her Vice Chairperson. This was to ensure that both of them had the opportunity to organise events but neither had a disproportionate burden. The major event of the year was the Aerobics Camp, which was the final event of the year. This came under the responsibility of Max.
One day, during a basketball game, Max sprained his arm severely. He was not allowed to take part in any strenuous activities for a period of time. Thus, he did not attend the regular Aerobics trainings or even committee meetings. Even after his arm was healed, his absence in Aerobics club activities continued due to his parents’ concerns and prohibitions.
Nevertheless, Max agreed to help organise the Aerobics Camp since he was in charge of it; but explained that he needed help from Hillary. He would be able to attend the Camp, but not participate in any vigorous activities. Hillary agreed and they started organising the camp.
As camp planning made a headway, Max started to slowly shirk his duties. He cited his other commitments and busier schedule as reasons. He had recently joined an external committee (outside of the club) to promote Aerobics to others, and was extremely involved in it. Three days before the Aerobics Camp, he claimed that he could not attend the Camp. Since the committee was particularly shorthanded at that time, Hillary really appreciated any sort of help that anyone could give. She was therefore disappointed when Max not only refused to fulfil his responsibilities as the Vice Chairperson, but also did not provide any help that he could afford to do.
What can Hillary do to resolve the situation while accommodating Max’s situation and ensuring that they end their tenure in the Aerobics Club committee with success and satisfaction of a job well done?
This was a real situation, but slightly simplified. One thing I noted was that knowing how the situation resolved, it was actually hard for me to write the story in an unbiased manner. I hope I managed to tell it accurately and neutrally. =)
