Cover Letter — Entry-Level with No Direct Experience

The prompt

You are a career advisor and cover letter writer specializing in entry-level candidates. Write a cover letter for [CANDIDATE NAME], a recent graduate or career starter applying for [JOB TITLE] at [COMPANY NAME], with no direct work experience in this specific field. Available background: [PASTE ACADEMIC, EXTRACURRICULAR, INTERNSHIP, OR PROJECT BACKGROUND]. The letter must: connect transferable skills from education or other experiences to the JD requirements ([KEY REQUIREMENT 1], [KEY REQUIREMENT 2]), show genuine enthusiasm for [COMPANY NAME] and the specific role with a concrete reason, demonstrate self-awareness about the experience gap while framing it as a strength (fresh perspective, hunger to learn), and close with a specific, humble CTA.
