Move Into the Paralegal Field with a Paralegal Cover Letter

Would you like to work as a paralegal? Take the first step. Write a great paralegal cover letter showing the hiring manager what you can do in this arena. Be sure to include pertinent and related information about your background. For example, have you been trained in this field? Have you worked in a law office before? Are you familiar with the tasks of a working paralegal? Make a case for yourself and why you’d be the person to hire to fill this opening. A solid paralegal cover letter will draw an employer’s attention and may lead to an interview for the job. So be sure to put your best foot forward in all of the paralegal cover letter samples you write and send.

Easy Resumes

Easy Resumes

Modern technology has added a new twist to preparing resumes andcover letters. The availability of personal computers and laser printers has raised employers expectations of the quality of resumes andcover letters applicants produce. Electronic mail, Internet postings, and software that reads resumes help some employers sort and track hundreds of resumes. Technology has also given cover letter writers greater flexibility; page limits and formatting standards are no longer as rigid as they were several years ago. The only rule is that there are no rules, says Frank Fox, executive director of the Professional Association of Resume Writers. Resume should be error free no typos or spelling mistakes but beyond that, use any format that conveys the information well.

Comparison between performance with a pushrim-activated power-assisted wheelchair and a manual wheelchair on the Wheelchair Skills Test

Comparison between performance with a pushrim-activated power-assisted wheelchair and a manual wheelchair on the Wheelchair Skills Test

PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that people using a pushrim-activated power wheelchairs (PAPAW) can accomplish a wider range of wheelchair skills than when using a manual wheelchair (MWC). METHODS: We studied 30 able-bodied participants, using within-participant comparisons. Participants used a manual wheelchair equipped with both PAPAW and regular MWC rear wheels, and rear anti-tip devices (Arc-RADs) that permitted wheelie-like function. We trained participants to perform the wheelchair skills of the medicare power wheelchairs Skills Training Program (WSTP, Version 2.4). From the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST, Version 2.4), we calculated pass-fail success rates for the 50 individual skills and a total percentage WST score. RESULTS: The mean (+/-SD) total WST scores were 89.3 (+/-7.0)% for the PAPAW and 88.8 (+/-8.4)% for the MWC, with a mean difference of 0.6 (+/-5.6)% (p = 0.59). Qualitative observations suggested that skills requiring a higher force on the pushrim (e.g., incline ascent) were performed more easily with the PAPAW, whereas skills requiring greater control of the wheelchair (e.g., wheelie-dependent skills) were performed more easily with the MWC. CONCLUSION: Overall wheelchair skill performance with the PAPAW is not superior to that when using the MWC. The PAPAW may be helpful for specific skills that require more wheel torque, but the additional torque appears to be disadvantageous when performing skills that require greater control
