Dear Human Resources,

I am contacting you today to make notification of my interest in the position within your company. I have worked in a variety of diverse environments, and held an array of positions, all providing an educational experience to which aided the growth of myself as a professional as well as a person. If given the opportunity I believe that I have the potential to be an asset, for I am a quick learner that is highly dedicated to my work. As a life student, I look for any chance to learn something new and possibly key to future success.

During the course of my life I have spent valuable time working on various projects that facilitate the use of several professional skills; including knowledge of many federal, state and county laws/regulations relevant to each field. I have more than two years of experience working within family law, which entailed writing documents, filing and serving pleadings, attending settlement conference, preparing for trial, and presenting in the audience of a County Judge/Commisioner . I have worked within fast paced programs that revolve around the legal field, such as the Lewis County Coroner’s Office and am presently with the Lewis County Bar Legal Aid, providing both clerical assistance and working as a liason. I have many other abilities, like expert skills working with the Microsoft Office Suite. A few of my professional qualities are:

I provide unique task orientation and organizational skills combined with an interest in people that helps professional teams to function more smoothly.

I possess a combination of multiple communication styles with a balance that makes me effective in managing people and tasks with an emphasis on the big picture.

I have expansive focus, giving myself the ability to juggle an amazing number of responsibilities/ projects simultaneously.

I am a global learner. Through this skill I continually seek newer and better solutions to benefit the dynamics my surrounding, whether it be the environment or the people within it.

I tend to be more fact based and task oriented, but I always utilize my skills as a good listener in order to take the needs and feelings of others into account.

I look forward to speaking with you on a more in depth level about the position and all other opportunities. If I do not hear from you in the next two weeks I will gladly contact you to see about scheduling a meeting.

Sincerely,Kirsti Pruett
