Amy Hedley

Vacation Employment Co-ordinator

Orica Mining Services

Dear Ms Hedley

Vacation Program

After speaking to your colleague Grant Williamson at the recent Monash University Vacation Festival,

it is with great enthusiasm that I apply for a mining vacation position in Orica’s ESS department in

Melbourne. Currently I am in my penultimate year of a Bachelor of Engineering, majoring in

Mechanical Engineering and maintaining a distinction average.

Whilst speaking with Mr Williamson, he explained that those best suited to ESS have a combination of

technical engineering expertise and interest in business process improvement. I believe I am a good

fit for the role because:



My technical capabilities have been consistently demonstrated through achieving distinction

results for subjects including Solid Mechanics and Systems & Control.



An aptitude for business development emerged through the study of the elective subject

Systems Thinking for Sustainability which focused on strategies to effectively balance the

management of complex organisations while acting responsibly in relation to social and

natural system problems.

I have been able to put my engineering skills to work through my part-time employment in a consumer

goods testing role with SGS Australia. This position requires the

examining and testing of household

appliances, equipment and accessories to determine their compliance with appropriate standards. As

a result of this experience, I have proven attention to detail, accuracy and analytical skills when

recording details of tests, results and observations. In addition, communication skills are essential

when working as part of a large diverse team and when explaining report findings to clients.

Thank you for your consideration. I believe I have much to contribute to the Orica team ensuring

projects are value adding, cost effective and timely whilst also gaining invaluable insight and

experience from Orica’s engineering specialists. Attached is a copy of my resume and I am available

for interview at your convenience.

Yours sincerely,

Thanh Lee Kym
