Legal Assistants Question:

Your cover letter should be professional in tone and font, strongly written and containing no grammatical errors. However, your cover letter also gives you an opportunity to let some of your personality show. Do not simply summarize your resume. Tell the hiring manager what make you the right candidate for this job. Go into detail about relevant work experience or skills that would make you an asset to the company. Research the company to strengthen your case and show your interest in working for them.
