[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 109416, member: 17165"] Hey [USER=17355]@TCinpipeline[/USER], So I thought I would provide you with a few thoughts before pointing you towards some resources already on the forum. Regarding cover letters, I tended to keep mine to a page (and preferably less). Generally I would follow a basic structure: why the firm, why law and finally why me. [USER=16764]@James Carrabino[/USER] and [USER=17155]@AvniD[/USER] may have different ideas about the specific order or indeed content of the paragraphs though! In terms of a CV, less text is better. Try to separate different sections clearly (e.g., Education, Work Experience and Leadership/Volunteer experience) using sub-headings. If you are at university, it might help to ask your careers department for a CV template that you could use (alternatively use the ones provided below). With regard to existing TCLA content: [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/looking-for-past-cover-letters-or-online-forms.497/']Here[/URL] is a thread including a few of [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER]'s cover letters [*][URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/cv-templates.2296/']Here[/URL] are CV templates you might be able to use [/LIST] Let me know if I can be of any further help!
