Dear Sir or Madam:

I am searching for a position as a full-time paralegal with a local firm or business, available to begin employment immediately.

I am a hard-working, driven individual with a great respect for deadlines, punctuality, and a very strong work ethic. In May of 2015, I graduated with highest honors from Wilson Community College with an Associates of Applied Science in Paralegal Technology. As a part of the Paralegal program, I completed an internship as a paralegal for Thomas J. Moore II, Moore Law, PLLC. Additionally, I have worked in customer service for thirteen years during which I have developed exceptional communication skills.

I would appreciate the opportunity to interview for a paralegal position. I am confident that my organizational and time management skills qualify me to be a valuable part of any team.

Yours very truly,

Sadie E. Herndon
