Lawyers need jobs too
I know, it’s cool to not like lawyers. But, my sister is a lawyer, and they need jobs too. Attorney resume specialist Karen Anderson just wrote an article helping lawyers write cover letters. If you’re a lawyer looking for a job, then check it out. Here’s a link: http://www.esqresume.com/article/how-to-write-an-effective-cover-letter-for-an-attorney-job.html
The one thing I was most surprised by when reading this article is that Karen claims that lawyers don’t recognize the importance of a great cover letter. How could you NOT recognize the importance of a cover letter. It’s like your resume, but with character (thus making it more important than your resume). Your cover letter talks about your experience, how you can benefit the company you’re applying to, and gives a brief look into who you are as a person. If this isn’t important, then what is?
