LETTER 5-21: ENTRY-LEVEL PARALEGAL—PART-TIME/FULL-TIME
P.O. Box 1000
City Times
New York, NY 09876

RE: Entry-Level Paralegal Position
advertised in the City Times, June 6, 20XX

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,
Linux, Microsoft Office, and Adobe.
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
