LETTER 5-106: TRAINING ENGINEER
Mr. Robert L. Gorchin
Boston Transportation Authority
24 Manchester Place RE: Job Posting No. M75-4AB-96
Boston, MA 09876 Engineer, L&P Training
Dear Mr. Gorchin:
While many candidates may possess the engineering background necessary to
fill the opening in your training department, I am able to offer more. My
unique mastery of diverse, advanced computer applications equips me to create
and implement state-of-the-art training programs that reflect the latest
technological developments.

For example:
I am fluent in C++, Visual Basic, and COBOL languages; experienced
working within DOS, Windows, Novell Netware environments; using
Word, PageMaker, MS Access, AutoCAD, Photoshop, Flowchart,
PowerPoint, multimedia, and other technologies to create interesting,
informative programs for trainees at every level of sophistication.
Demonstrating my ability to operate effectively with outside
agencies, I worked closely with the Department of Defense, the
Federal Aviation Administration, and commercial vendors to create
CBT programs that train end users to become completely familiar
with a product. Of particular relevance to BTA is my development of a
simulator that saved my employer more than $75K in training costs.
Through 17 years’ engineering experience, I have dealt successfully
with test equipment, troubleshooting electronic circuitry, computers,
and personnel training.
I am currently involved in developing troubleshooting aids, documenting test
procedures, and systems specifications.

My experience with electronics, computers, program development, and training
equips me to make a significant contribution to your training capabilities. I
would be happy to meet with you at your convenience.
Sincerely,

Benjamin Ciryto
