Dear Sir / Madam,I am writing to submit my application for the
JOB. I am a recent graduate of Monash University, where I completed
a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (Hons. 1st class) / Bachelor of
Science double degree. I was very excited to read about the
POSITION and the opportunities available to employees at DST group,
in particular the SOmeTHING. Conducting research with leading edge
technology, alongside Australias leading engineers and scientists
be a tremendous starting point in my career in research. During my
study at Monash University I found fluid mechanics to be a
fascinating field of study and one that I excelled in, achieving
multiple high distinction grades in core and elective units across
both my degrees. I chose my final year project topic because it
allowed me to apply the skills I had acquired in previous fluids
subjects to a research and design based project. I utilised
computational fluid dynamics software to contribute to the design
of a microchannel device aimed at investigating the influence of
blood flow parameters and arterial wall stresses on blood clot
production. I was awarded a high distinction for my final report
and presentation, demonstrating my understanding of fluid mechanics
and CFD, and capability in technical writing and verbal
communication. Following the completion of my study I was employed
at the Manufacturing Excellence Task Force of Australia (META) to
perform a study into the current and future capability of the
Australian Commercial Aerospace industry. My experience at META
gave me further experience in conducting research projects, and
provided an opportunity to demonstrate my interpersonal skills
while conducting surveys, engaging clients and reporting to my
supervisors. I have also recently completed the 2015 Mongol Rally,
an amateur charity rally that challenges teams to complete an
18000km unassisted drive from London to Mongolia in an entirely
unsuitable car. This was a very rewarding experience, requiring
many months of research, planning and preparation with little to no
external guidance. It provided a fantastic opportunity to work in a
small team environment, and was very beneficial for my project
planning, communication and problem solving skills. Thank you for
accepting my application. I eagerly look forward to hearing more
about this exciting opportunity, and I am available for a further
interview at any time in person, online or over the phone.
