[Email Subject Line: Application for Legal Assistant Position]
Dear ___:
Please accept this as my application for the Legal Assistant
position at KR&W posted on Handshake. The position is very
exciting to me, as I have been looking for a challenging
opportunity that would allow me to work in the legal field. I
believe that my research projects, leadership, and previous work
experience make me a candidate worthy of consideration.
As a senior Psychology major at The University of Georgia, I have
conducted multiple research projects, including a senior thesis.
These projects required that I take large amounts of complicated
information and extract the most relevant pieces, preparing me
for the research demands of a legal assistant. Throughout my time
at the university, I have also held multiple part-time jobs and have
been involved in numerous leadership activities. My ability to
balance these opportunities while maintaining a 3.6 GPA is
evidence of my capacity to handle many things at once, a skill that
I would look forward to transferring into the Legal Assistant role.
I am specifically excited to apply to KR&W because of the firm’s
reputation for helping individuals settle insurance claim
difficulties. I have attached my resume for your review. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
[email protected] or 706-555-4321.
Thank you for your consideration,
[NAME]
