Dear Colgate-Palmolive Hiring Manager,

My name is Polly Mer, and I am writing to apply for a full-time Chemical Engineering position at

Colgate-Palmolive. As a senior in Chemical Engineering major at the University of Utah graduating in

May 20XX, I am very interested in the development of consumer products while also ensuring the

reduction of environmental impact. In reading your Sustainability Report, I was very impressed to

read that you improved the sustainability profile in 85% of new products. I welcome the opportunity

to bring my research and engineering skills to Colgate-Palmolive’s products.

As you can see from my attached resume, I developed my research and engineering skills through

several internships and academic projects. During my internship at Procter & Gamble, I developed all

aspects of a prototype for a newly conceptualized oral care product. By the end of my project, I was

able to hand out samples of the product. My supervisors commended me for my communication and

creative problem-solving skills, and for my ability to work well with many different people within our

development team.

I developed my leadership and interpersonal skills by being an active member of several organizations

on the University of Utah campus. As president of the Utah chapter of American Institute of Chemical

Engineers, I am in charge of planning meetings, fundraisers, activities and our annual departmental

banquet. While Service Chair for Lambda Sigma, the sophomore honor society, I organized service

activities and motivated members to participate in the service events. This leadership will help me

thrive in team settings within your company.

I look forward to learning more about career opportunities at Colgate-Palmolive. If you have any

questions, please contact me at (801) 581-6186 or pollymerUstudent@utah.edu. Thank you for your

consideration.

Sincerely,

Polly Mer
