Chemical Engineering attracts me because of the challenges involved in the application of scientific theory to practical, real world obstacles. I choose Chemical Engineering because I was amazed by the role of Chemical Engineers played in helping mankind lead a better life. I, Bilal Waseem, a Chemical Engineer with 15 months work experience, comprises from 3 months at National Refinery Ltd. as a Senior Management Trainee to 12 months at Pak Oasis Industries (Pvt.) Ltd. as a Trainee Process Engineer. I am currently looking for a good job where I can learn more about Chemical Engineering and that will further enhance my abilities and provide long term stability. I also acquired a month Internship experience at the Cathodic Protection department of renowned Sui Southern Gas Company Ltd. Besides my working experience, co-curricular activities during my undergraduate studies enables me to develop personally and professionally and gives me the ability to interact with others respectfully and develop productive working relationship to minimize conflict and maximize rapport.
