"As an industrial engineering student, facility tours whet my fascination with companies early on. Also, the essays I wrote after the tours taught me how to understand and analyze their processes and what I could do to make them continuously improve. In other words, I learned early how to find out what makes a company tick by learning all about their plans and processes. I know that (XYZ Company) manufactures (widgets), and I also recognize that you have companies in the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia. I extensively researched your company, which included objectively reading customer testimonials and (Glass Door, Google, etc) reviews on what the culture is like and what I can expect working there."
