Hi Alisha,
Emphasize your eagerness to learn by showcasing how you’ve proactively explored relevant tools like MATLAB, Python, and SolidWorks - even if not hands-on.
Also highlight personal projects or coursework, and express your enthusiasm for growing into the role. Tailor your resume to reflect your potential, not just experience.
Good luck!

Hi,
While there may be areas for development, I am confident that you possess significant talents in other domains. I recommend identifying your core strengths and focusing your efforts on those areas where your skills are most pronounced. True success involves not only performing tasks effectively but also discovering where you can genuinely progress and create substantial value.
I wish you good luck!
