Dear Team,

            As a current student at University of Washington, I would be an excellent addition to your team as a Legal Services Assistant at your Seattle location and my educational and professional experience backs this up. The work experience I have that is most relevant would be my time spent with Blanton Turner at their former Reverb building as leasing agent. The requirements listed fit very similarly to the job I held there. Managing tenant packages was a daily task, administering all incoming calls and emails inquiring about a unit within the building, and writing and scanning documents to begin or end tenants’ leases. I kept my space clean and approachable and was known by all the tenants on good terms.

​

  Majoring in Law, Economics, and Public Policy has presented me with the educational experience to comprehend the jargon and flow of the work that would be processed. In particular, my class BISLEP 301 on the intersectionality of the three components of my major would present me with the needed knowledge of handling forms and files and giving a true comprehension of what should go where and why. Understanding that a year or more of law school is preferred for this position, my rudimentary understanding is solid, and I am competent in legal briefings. This all is exemplary in my following work piece found below that was a take-home exam of a fictional legal case briefing of Abercrombie v. Fitch and findings, earning a 4.0 grade. I also am a competent writer, understanding that I would need to liaison with office staff and that certain competency is to be expected. My writing competency is most noted in my other piece from this same class on Health Maintenance Organizations during Covid-19, also earning a 4.0.

​

  I have other relevant life and work experience and would love the opportunity to expand further upon this. Therefore, I ask that the team review my resume and please do not hesitate to reach out to me via phone call or email found above. Thank you for reading and for the consideration; I would love to hear from the team.

 Best,

 

Gavin Melendez
