This weekend a panel of prestigious attorneys gathered at GGU to offer advice to law students as part of the Asian American Bar Association's Career Day. When asked how students can stand out in their cover letters and interviews, the attorneys had the same advice: Have a compelling narrative that tells your story. Share your connection to the field or to the organization you are seeking to join. Explain how you've developed an interest in the work you are pursuing and the steps you have taken to prepare yourself for this path. If your prior experience is in a (seemingly) unrelated field, find ways to explain how that work has prepared you for this new opportunity.
For more tips on how to write an effective cover letter, take a look at our newly revised Cover Letter handout.
