Chemical Engineering resume objective samples for Entry-Level Chemical Engineers

If you’re still in school, you’re more likely applying to chemical engineering internships or entry-level positions.

Since you don’t have professional experience, replace the summary section with a resume objective.

It will define your key abilities and set forward your expectations.

SUMMARY

I’m a third year Chemical Engineering student. I’m looking for an internship to develop my skills further and gain entry into the petroleum industry and oil derivatives. I don’t have a lot of experience, but I’m motivated to learn and work hard on my assigned tasks.

 WRONG

The problem with this resume objective is the student hardly demonstrates what skills they can contribute to their organization.

They show resolve and motivation to learn and develop, but companies want something more.

If you want to land an internship in your dream company, you must show you’re already working on relevant projects. You should pull your own weight and get up to speed in half the time other interns can.

The next Chemical Engineering student has an impressive resume objective which focuses on a cool extracurricular project they did on top of their mandatory courses.

SUMMARY

Chemical Engineering student with an interest in the petrochemical industry. Designed a table top plastic press producing recycled table coasters out of shredded PET bottles. Looking for an internship at a plastic manufacturing and recycling company.

 RIGHT

Where one student blatantly admits they can’t do anything, the other demonstrates a working machine to study and experiment with manufacturing technologies.

They can’t be any more relevant to the plastic manufacturing industry. Any company would dream to get such a proactive intern.
