At the entry-level, you may not be able to provide much information since you do not have experience in the clerical position.
When a hiring manager advertises for an office clerk position, he knows that he will receive many entry-level resumes.
In order to become a favorite candidate, make sure that your resume is a great piece of writing, despite the lack of experience.
Remember that experience defines you as a professional but only in a limited capacity. In fact, it is your skills and qualifications that will primarily convince an employer that you are worth hiring.
So make your entry-level resume a treat to read, by detailing how good you are – even without experience (or limited exposure to a real work environment), you can be an excellent worker.
