Robert - Two suggestions.

1.	Delete your GPA and average at St. Mary's.  It isn't stellar enough to get you any interviews, but it could cost you some.

2.	Consider condensing your resume to one page, by changing your heading "Experience" to "Legal Experience".

Good evening  Brothers and Sisters at the bar,

I wonder if you might take a moment and pass along any feedback as to my attached resume, as well as any ideas on how to get my foot in the door leading to employment as a newly minted Attorney.

I am due to graduate December 2012, and will sit for the Texas bar exam February 2013, but thought now is the time to start shaking hands and introducing myself in hopes to find my place in the legal community.

I am hoping to work in the federal, state, or local government but I am just as willing to work in the private sector.  I have gained some experience through our civil legal clinic, but I am just as willing to work in criminal law.  In short I will put my talents and legal education to whatever end will give me a chance.

I look forward to any guidance or assistance you can provide.

I spoke with my school's employment placement office, however you having the full understanding of the challenges of our situation may perhaps have a better understanding on how to gain interviews and other related steps to secure employment.


As many of you may also know I am working to become a JAG officer in the U.S. military, and have requested the assistance of U.S. Senator John Cornyn, TX and I have received correspondence related to this.  I have not had it delivered here as of yet as it was sent to my old office address.  I'll let you know what it says.  If favorable, then wonderful.  If unfavorable, I wonder if I can again ask for your collected assistance on any further action that may be open to me.

Again, I thank you very much for your time and attention.

With Respect,

Robert D. Dittman
