I work with US law firms as a remote Virtual Legal Assistant and I help aspiring Virtual Legal Assistants build flexible, meaningful careers working with US law firms.
Product description
The Job Application Kit for Virtual Legal Assistants takes the guesswork out of the process by showing you exactly how to apply strategically, present yourself professionally, and stand out from hundreds of other applicants. This is a practical, plug-and-play toolkit designed to help virtual assistants confidently apply for jobs. It includes editable resume and cover letter templates, customizable email scripts, attention-grabbing portfolio samples, and a step-by-step guide to stand out on platforms like Upwork, LinkedIn, and via cold emails.
These are the same templates and approaches I (Vivian) used to land my first US law firm clients, refined, updated, and tested by hundreds of students worldwide.
Whether you're just starting or looking to polish your application game, I built this kit to give you the tools, structure, and strategy to land your next client, without overthinking it.
