Dear Hiring Manager:
I was interested to see your posting for a job reference number NY1013104
and would like to learn more about this opportunity.
I am a navy nuclear operator with extensive experience as a shut reactor
operator for the US Navy. I have 6 years of experience as a shutdown
reactor operator I monitored and controlled all aspects of the nuclear
power plant parameters. In this role, I was the supervisory element over
all plant operators. I also have 2+ years of experience as a GE field
service engineer. In this role, I was responsible of operations, maintaince
and corresponding with the customers of GE.
I feel that my skills as an operator, a supervisor, and customer relations
would be an asset in this role.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to have the opportunity
to discuss any openings with you in person.
Sincerely
