COVER LETTER
- Hiring Manager:
- I am interested in a receptionist or intake position. I worked at a successful Personal Injury law firm for 24 years in California. My husband and I bought a home in Sebastian and moved here on August 10.
- My position at the law firm was receptionist. I made sure all the incoming potential clients were screened, and sent to the intake specialist. I would make sure that if the intake specialist was not available, I would get basic information so we could call them back. I had done some intakes before, so I would know what important questions to ask. I kept track of all online intakes, and in office intakes. I sent out rejection letters to potential clients, and made sure all intakes were responded to from start to finish. I handled a small account for the partner/owner on QuickBooks. I ordered all supplies, and ran the lobby to keep things organized.
- The website for the law firm is:
- Paboojianlaw.com
- I am reliable, hardworking, and get along easily with everyone. I have a great work ethic and enjoy learning new things. I am extremely loyal. If you give me the opportunity to work for your company, you will not be disappointed. I am a great employee.
- Thank you, and I hope to meet you at some point.
