You might check your spelling and punctuation. The good jobs will require meticulous communication skills as well.
I used to work at an oil company and they had chemical engineers doing lab research, doing process work at refineries and factories, and doing sales work for their chemical products.
There are even places in safety where an immediate understanding of the chemical complexities of fires, explosions, or transportation disasters need more intricate thought than just squirt more water on it. A train wreck, for instance, we have nasty chemicals in car A, B, and C. The stuff in car A reacts badly to water, the stuff in car C reacts badly to the stuff in car B, and none of it is directly obvious from looking at the Material Safety Data Sheets for the stuff on that train, so how do we approach this? You might save lives, lots of them.
Back a couple of decades ago, one friend graduated with a chemistry degree and another with a chemical engineering degree. The first friend got a job framing houses because the only thing he could find with his degree was making half that doing quality control tests at a paint factory. The other friend had offers of three and four times as much because he would be doing the process design in the factories.
Polish your presentation and you will do well.
