David King123 High Street, Liverpool, L1 2AB, E-mail: david.king@, Mobile: 07890 123 456Personal ProfileA technically-competent Mechanical Engineering undergraduate with a strong interest in developing a career in the automotive industry. My involvement in the Formula Student Team and previous employment have helped me develop confident problem-solving, communication, teamwork and IT skills. I am keen to gain practical experience alongside my studies and feel the industrial placement offered by Automobile Inc. would be an excellent opportunity to test and improve my skills in a real engineering environment.Education and Qualifications2019-presentLiverpool John Moores University (LJMU)BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering (accredited by IMechE)First-year average: 68%Relevant modules studied: Mechanical Principles of Fluids and Solids 1 & 2, Engineering Problem Solving, Engineering Design Practice, Materials and Manufacture, Engineering Mathematics.2012-2019St Mary’s College and Sixth Form, LiverpoolA-Levels: Physics (B), Maths (C) and Chemistry (C)10 GCSEs (grade C or above), including Maths (A) and English (B)Relevant Experience2020 – present Liverpool John Moores University, Formula Student TeamBeing part of the Formula Student team has given me valuable experience of working within a team of Mechanical, Electrical and Design Engineering students. I was involved in manufacturing parts for the car and assisted one of the more experienced team members in redesigning the fuel tank according to set weight and cost specifications. On the race day at Silverstone, I was responsible for keeping the pit area clean and organised to avoid any delay in carrying out repairs and adjustments. Skills ProfileDesign and Technical skillsConfident design skills developed from successfully working on a number of projects during my degree studies, including case studies provided by employers. I achieved high marks (2:1 or above) by ensuring that my designs adhered to the given specification and project brief and by using different techniques to generate ideas, such as morphological charts, check listing and brain storming. I am also familiar with a range of methods to solve problems that might occur within the design process including French’s model and Pugh analysis. Good skills using CAD software such as Solidworks and AutoCAD. I am also a confident user of MathCAD for mathematical modelling. Completing a number of assignments at university has helped me develop a good understanding of technical communication and the ability to use graphs, tables and drawings effectively in technical reports. In addition to engineering-specific software, I also have advanced skills in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, which I continue to improve on through attending relevant Study Support workshops at LJMU. Problem SolvingWorking on projects and case studies at university has developed my analytical thinking, fault-finding and problem-solving skills. For a recent group assignment, we were given a problem by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers which was focused on designing a low-energy vehicle for a student competition. I researched different options of powering the vehicle and to consider alternative methods to conclude a final design that would be feasible within the given budget. My group finished in the top three in the competition at LJMU, which meant that we represented the university at the regional finals in Manchester. As a customer service and technical assistant at Cycle Surgery Wirral, I have demonstrated hands-on skills in servicing and repairing bicycles, which has further improved my problem-solving skills and feel for tolerances. I have also gained experience dealing with customer enquiries and complaints effectively and professionally, listening and responding calmly to agitated customers and offering suitable alternative products where possible. Planning and Time Management skillsBalancing my commitments from part-time work and full-time study requires me to be organised and to manage my time effectively. I use a weekly planner to record my shifts in work as soon as these have been confirmed and organise my revision, coursework and social activities around these. To manage my academic work and revision, I produce weekly to do lists, which allows me to monitor my progress and, if required, allocate additional time for revision or coursework. Working as a team leader of a busy bar team at Wetherspoons, I am partly responsible for creating staff rotas and stock management. I always ensure that I keep myself up-to-date with any current promotions as well as events in the area to plan adequate staffing and stock levels. In this role, I have also demonstrated my initiative and ability to amend existing plans, e.g. by re-allocating members of staff to other areas. Communication skillsStrong written communication skills developed by completing various reports and essays at university. For example, for a recent report I discussed the differences in the micro structures of metal, fibre and ceramics and how these influence the choice of materials used in industrial applications. I presented arguments for and against each material to illustrate why some industries favoured particular materials and supported my findings through graphs and tables. Feedback from my tutor highlighted my professional and concise writing style as well as my confidence in using the appropriate technical terminology. My role as a student representative has strengthened my communication skills and my confidence in dealing with senior members of academic staff. I attend board of study meetings to feed back any issues my fellow students have raised, ensuring that I use a diplomatic and professional approach at all times in order to build rapport with staff in the faculty to resolve any issues. Work History2018-present The Welkin, Wetherspoons, Liverpool City Centre – Team leaderAfter 6 months as a barman, I was promoted to team leader thanks to my work ethic and my willingness to learn. I am involved in recruiting and training new members of staff, which greatly developed my teamwork and leadership skills. 2016-2018 Cycle Surgery Wirral – Customer Service and Technical AssistantAdditional InformationMembership of professional bodies: As a student member of the IMechE, I enjoy keeping up to date with any developments in the engineering sector. I pay particular attention to any news stories relating to the automotive sector. 2019-2020 Student representative for BEng Mechanical Engineering course at LJMU Interests: I enjoy outdoor activities like mountain-biking, hiking and kayaking.
