RE: Entry-Level Paralegal Position
advertised in the City Times, June 6, 199X
An entry-level position is not de facto fillable only by the inexperienced. On the contrary, in me you have a talented professional available for part-time or full-time work.
Having performed in a range of capacities in law firms both large and small, as the enclosed resume reveals, I can offer you a wealth of legal capabilities, including:
-- Contract preparation, negotiation, and administration in support of legal counsel.
-- Ability to serve as an independent contract paralegal and investigator, as I have for many different attorneys and firms in the metropolitan area.
-- Comprehensive paralegal skills, obtained through practical experience as well as in study leading to Paralegal Certification at State College.
-- Experience with the use of an Office Automation System, WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Lotus 1-2-3, and Prodigy.
I would appreciate the opportunity to interview with you and can make myself available at your convenience.
I thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Mark Jensen
