Entry Level Cover Letter Sample – No Experience

Updated on: September 25, 2018

If you are writing a cover letter for the first time, you may get cold feet! That is very natural because cover letter writing by entry-level applicants is somewhat tricky.

Even if you have no prior experience in hand, you can still build a compelling cover letter by organizing your thoughts and mentioning your skills gained through education and real-life experience – that is all you need to get started.

Format

A cover letter of entry-level candidates should contain three brief paragraphs.

First paragraph

Write the title of the position and mention the source that informed you about the vacant position. Briefly describe your most relevant qualifications /skills and how you intend to use them for the benefit of the company.

Second Paragraph

List your relevant skills and expertise gained through education, internships, and real-life experiences. Write short bullet sentences containing industry related keywords.

Third Paragraph

Restate your interest in obtaining the position and working for the prospective company. Proactively ask for an interview appointment. Also, tell the employer when you will follow-up.
