Paralegal cover letter

[sxw517]

I am in the process of drafting a cover letter for a paralegal position that has caught my eye.

& I was wondering whether you may be able to help me with this @Jessica Booker?

- How long would the ideal paralegal cover letter be in your opinion (word count)?
- Should it still follow the traditional cover format, or is there anything different about a paralegal cover letter?
- Could you mention that you have applied for a TC with their firm as well?

Thanks!

Hi @sxw517 - I'd go with one page with the formal/traditional formatting.

I wouldn't reference you have applied for the TC unless it is a short term contract role. If it is a permanent role, you definitely want to avoid saying something like this.
