[QUOTE="lawnoob, post: 113825, member: 9815"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] ! I know cover letters are generally intro, why (commercial) law, why the firm, why you. Does it have to be split into distinct sections like this? When writing my cover letter I've realised that when writing 'why commerical law' I've found that I can link it to what aspects I like about the firm aka. why the firm. For example something like (I would not write it like this but just a general structure): I had experience at both a regional firm and global firm, and from this it strengthened my [enter reasons for wanting to pursue commercial law], and through [enter tasks/what I learnt from this experience] I developed XYZ soft/transferrable skills which make me a better commercial lawyer. I also realised that I like working at a global law firm more because [insert reasons why]. I also like this about [insert firm name] due to firm's global approach etc. What would you think of this approach? Is it too messy? Could why law/why firm/why you be integrated together as long as everything has been answered like in my example? Or would you advise to keep it separate and just have a paragraph of what aspects I like about the firm? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
