LINDSAY SAULS
Dear Sir/Madam,
Regarding the position currently advertised, please find attached a copy of my CV for your consideration.
Having completed my Bachelor of Laws (LLB), I have developed a wide range of skills and knowledge that would meet, and exceed the expectations for employment at your company. Apart from this I am open to learning new things.
Through life experiences, I believe in working hard for what you want and one must be willing to go the extra mile to achieve to your goals. Also, that nothing in life comes easy. I am a truly humble, strong and well-grounded person by nature and I believe that this will be of a benefit to your company. I believe I would relish the opportunity to immediately bring this level of success to your company.
During my studies I have obtained distinctions, for the following subjects, Indigenous law, Criminal procedure, International law, Law of contract, Jurisprudence, Private International law and Bill of Rights. I particularly enjoyed the Law of Contracts. As a graduate I have acquired excellent research skills, therefore I am eager to contribute my abilities and experience to your company. Given my extensive knowledge, I believe I can help your company meet its goal of providing legal services that serves the client’s needs with the utmost honor and integrity.
During the period of being a tutor I have come to realise that, firstly, confidence is key, secondly, that there is a significant number of people who due to less fortunate standards of living come from a poor education and therefore struggle with the level required at university. Through my experience as a tutor I’ve not only built up my confidence and in so my character but, I thoroughly enjoyed providing the less fortunate students with a strong support system both academically and emotionally. I am a newly admitted attorney and I am currently unemployed. If you would like to get in touch to discuss my application and to arrange an interview, you can contact me via 062-***-****/ 074-***-**** or on **************@*****.***. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely
Lindsay Sauls
