An applicant for a legal secretary position needs to create a well written and informative cover letter that makes her stand out from the competition. The letter does not need to give the same depth of detail as the resume, but should emphasize that the candidate possesses the necessary requirements for the position. This includes a familiarity with legal terminology, the ability to create .
certain legal documents, such as a deposition notice, as well as handling phone calls and dealing with email. Any achievements beyond the ordinary at previous positions should be noted. The letter should also tell the hiring manager the date the candidate will become available to work, if chosen for the opening, and include basic contact information.
