text: motivational letter for applying a job.( without having experience). for beginners.?   i'm not sure of exactly what you're asking, but i think what you're asking is for suggestions on what you might write in a cover letter in order to land your first job ever, or your first job in a new industry.  the short answer is...it depends. if you have experience in another industry and want to switch industries, talk about how skills you used in your other jobs can be used in the job you are seeking (you should really research the job/industry you are trying to switch to so that you can really target the right skills and explain how you will add value). if you are pursuing your first job ever, you should focus on demonstrating your character traits and how you've shown them in other arenas.  if you are hard-working, then you might want to talk about all of the organizations you held a leadership role in while in school, and your excellent gpa.  if you are an excellent communicator, talk about your grades in english, your work on the school newspaper.    if you are in a position to do it, pursue an internship.  most companies offer only college credit, but some do offer a small stipend. internships are great because the employer knows that he/she will be getting mostly students with no work experience, and that's fine, because that is the point of an internship.  so, to sum this up... you should begin your letter by introducing yourself and telling the employer what type/title of position you are seeking.  then, explain why you want to work for their company and what you offer.  highlight the skills you believe make you a great candidate.  then, ask for an interview by either indicating that you have attached a resume for their consideration, or that you will be available for interview on (date) and can be reached by phone or email (include address).
