• Assalamualaikum and good morning. My name is Hasan bin Ali. I graduated in Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Polytechnic, Dungun. I am a target-oriented person as I will put all my efforts in achieving the target that I have set. For example, when I was preparing for my final year project, I needed to use a new software which I had never learned before. So, I learned it on my own by asking lecturers, searching information from the Internet and watching videos on how to use the software. Though I faced many challenges in completing the project and my lecturer once advised me to change the topic, but I did not give up and I kept finding ways and solutions. At last, my final year project was a success and it was complemented by my lecturers and friends. I believe I will do the same if I were given a chance in working with you and I will strive to make positive contributions for the company.
