Canfor - Prince George Pulp & Paper Mills
c/o UBC Engineering Co-op Office

Dear Sir / Madam:

Re: Co-op Student – Mechanical Engineer

Canfor Corporation is the largest manufacturer of softwood lumber. Looking forward to learn more about the manufacturing processes of pulp and paper, I would like to work for Canfor. With strong time management skills and interpersonal skills, I could contribute fresh thinking and ideas to your company.

Participating in many activities, I have developed strong time management skills. Last semester, I took a total of twenty course credits equivalent to seven courses. At the same time, I worked at UBC Food Services and participated in Heavy Lift student team and a ballroom dancing class. With so many things going on in my life, I managed my time by prioritizing tasks and using the time efficiently. With this strategy, I have maintained good grades in the school. Moreover, I have developed strong team work and interpersonal skills by participating in Heavy Lift team. In this team, I studied airplane structures and designs, and performed a series of strength tests on airplane structures. Through the testing process, I have acquired a lot of analysis skills and troubleshooting skills. With these qualifications, I would like to contribute my skills to your company.

Moreover, I am very familiar with AutoCAD. During my last intern at Hom Tech Precise Co., I was a design assistant creating design drawings for machine components on AutoCAD. My works included drawing finger chucks components for CNC machines and modified design drawing dimensions. With good attention to details, I effectively created accurate and clear design drawings which made machine operators’ work easier. Also, I have experience in using Unigraphics. While I was doing the magnetic levitation project in one of my courses, I used Unigraphics to create 3D drawings for a coil housing with a solenoid and a base for the levitation device. With these computer drafting skills, I would like to apply my experience to your company.


I am highly interested in working for Canfor and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my past experiences can contribute positively to your company. To arrange an interview, please contact the Co-op Office at 604.822.6995 or coop.interviews@ubc.ca. Thank you for your consideration.


Sincerely,

Brian Chen
