Mechanical Engineering graduate looking for work… is how my personal statement starts.

Should I capitalize the word graduate or leave it as it is?

I have done research using google to see how it is used.

According to this Biography, G is capitalised. Under the year '1986-1991'. quote 'He was a Mechanical Engineering Graduate of University of..'.

I have also read a document which uses it in puts everything in lowercase. quote 'mechanical engineering graduate'.

Also after observing the job listings ' Mechanical Engineering Graduate ' it seemed G was capitalised.

English nouns are normally kept in ‘sentence case’ unless they are proper nouns. So unless “graduate” is part of the name of the degree, keep it in lowercase.
