How to Write a Cover Letter With No Experience
Job searches are hard. And as if finding the job that you love isn't hard enough, you also have to have a cover letter and a resume that are tailored to the specific job. And before you feel overwhelmed, because I know if you don't have any experience, you're probably thinking, "Where should I start?" We're going to help you out with three key tips.
1. Determine Your Skills
2. Compare Your Skills With the Job Posting
3. Write Your 5-Part Cover Letter—including an introduction, why you're a perfect fit for the role, why the company is the perfect fit for you, a closing, and a postscript.
If you need help writing the cover letter specifically, or with finding those keywords in the job posting, use the links below.
