A product development engineer is dealing with new material. With the Case IH company there is always new designs to be tested. The motto that they have  says “Power to the Ground”. This means that they are striving to put more power from the engine to the ground than any other tractor company, which is what you always want.

Case was founded in 1842 in Racine, Wisconsin building threshing machines. By 1886 they were the number one producer of steam power tractors. They are now a worldwide company and keep expanding their locations. Case always puts the customer’s needs first and this is why they have so many repeat buyers.

At this job they are looking for qualified sophomores, juniors, and seniors in college. The listing asked for a self-motivated person that could work with limited supervision. Since they put these key words in the job description it is important to use these words in the cover letter and the resume. It is imperative because most of the resumes go through a scanner that look for buzz words and are not read by people to see your qualifications. Going into an interview I would prepare for questions that would include specific words from the job posting. An example would be “tell us a time when you demonstrated self-motivation”. So to prepare for a call back I would go back through the key words so I could think of an example of how I demonstrated them.
