Dear Ms. Arnold:

Linda Jones, Director of Career Services at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law suggested I contact you given my interest in exploring a career advocating for students with disabilities. I would appreciate the opportunity to spend 30 minutes with you for an informational interview to help guide my curricular and career decisions.  Enclosed is a resume to give you a sense of my background.

Thank you for your consideration. You have done what I hope to do:  graduate from the Moritz College of Law and develop a successful and rewarding education law practice. Any guidance you may provide would be most appreciated.

Sincerely,

Jason Lyons

Dear Mr. Zimmerman:

In my research of firms which have exemplary reputations in the employment law area, I discovered Littler Mendelson.  I see that your practice includes representing both small, family-owned businesses, as well as larger corporations.  I am very interested in pursuing a career in employment law and would love to speak with you about your practice and any tips you might have as I choose courses and make summer internship decisions.

I am requesting an informational interview and would only take about 30 minutes of your time.  I hope to get a sense for what your practice is like and what a typical day entails at your firm.  I am attaching my resume so you have context on my background before coming to The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.

I can be very flexible with my schedule to match your availability.  My contact information is on my resume, in case you have any questions.  I look forward to hearing from you and to meeting in person soon.

Sincerely,

Beth Brown
