Cover letters are seldom about experiences – in fact, they are more about qualifications and skills than anything else.
Entry-level does not necessarily mean “no skills”. In fact, skills are all that one has to depend on when writing a cover letter for an entry-level mail carrier position.
While some skills are only polished when you are an actual part of the employment world, some are gained through education, internships, and apprenticeships. And it is these skills that you have to build up on in a cover letter.
An employer will only be interested in you if you present a positive side of you – things that you can do and contributions that you can make.
Everything else becomes secondary. Cover letters say little else than I am the right person because my skills are great and your organization could use a person like me to succeed further.
Do not rely on experience when writing a cover letter for an entry-level position, as your experience may not be relevant to the job that you are now applying for.
