Cover Letter
My name is Shena Faulkner. I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a
Bachelor of Science of Nursing in May 2007. I had been working as an RN in Colorado for 8 years. I am seeking new challenges and new employment in a different setting, as a Paralegal. My success with school, and my years of work has built an honest, hard working, dedicated mentality in which my character reflects. I feel I have learned a great deal in my nursing career, but I am excited to seek new opportunities and expand upon my career goals and personal growth in a different setting. Please look over my resume and I hope you will consider me for employment with your company.

Experience
I have been working as an RN for over 8 years. I have seen my skills develop tremendously over this time. I have become an advocate and educator. I have developed great multitasking skills, and feel comfortable when operating autonomously. I have been placed in charge at two of the facilities that I have worked at. This has helped me become extremely self-sufficient, as well as accountable. I also feel it a necessity to seek advice and assistance from my coworkers, as they are an invaluable resource to any job and my learning. I am also very motivated, and consider myself a quick learner. Without my years of work experience, I wouldn’t have developed my hard working ethics that will be valuable for employment in your firm. Since I completed the Paralegal program at Rollins, I feel excited to start a new journey in the legal field. I feel the skills I have ascertained by my nursing career and my education with the Paralegal program that I completed, I am capable of starting down a new career path. Employment
