Paralegal Cover Letter Sample

Great cover letter tip for paralegal job searchers: When writing your letter give some thought to what a hiring manager is looking for in order to call you in for an interview. He or she might want to know your specific employment experience, your training in the field, and the daily duties you were responsible for. This information will help him or her decide whether or not to consider you further or to set aside your cover letter and turn to someone else. Give yourself the best chance to make a good impression.

Dear Mr. Sanchez:

It was a good day for me when I saw on JobSearchJimmy.com your listing for two paralegals for your company. With this letter and my attached resume I am applying for one of these positions. I am trained and have five years of experience as a free-lance paralegal. Now, however, I am ready to be employed at a law firm in a salaried position.

I have taken the prescribed series of courses in law and legal procedures, and my job has consisted of handling paper work in probates of estates, bankruptcies, divorce actions, analyzing depositions, investigations, preparing and answering interrogatories, procedural motions and other specific tasks, as required.

I'd welcome an opportunity to meet in person to talk about what you have in mind for the person you hire to fill one of these positions as a paralegal. If you wish to schedule an interview please call me at: 777-777-7777 any weekday between 9:00 and 5:00.

Thank you very much for considering my cover letter and resume. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Joanne Job Seeker
