I want to apply for a job, yet I don't have experience.?

Question

I want to respond to a help wanted ad,..managing a mini storage,.... I've never manage anything,..I'm sure is not difficult, but I really want the job. I'm writing a cover letter,..any help in writing a cover letter for a job with no experience at it.

Answer 1

When you don't have experience, letters of reference would be helpful, especially when stating things like: "In my experience with XX I have found him/her to be reliable, capable, enthusiastic and willing to learn." These are very key job skills and if you can back them up with a couple of letters of reference from say a teacher/counselor at school; your church; even from someone you babysat for? did errands for? did some work around their house??

In your cover letter I'd say something to the effect:

I would like the opportunity to work for your company. I am willing to learn and am anxious to find a company who is willing to teach me more about managing. I feel it would be a mutually advantageous situation.

I look forward to interviewing with you so that we may discuss in detail how my employment with your company would be beneficial to you.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Just tell them straight what you think about the job.

If you think it's easy, you have to give examples... like how you organise things (storing them, sorting them,etc)

There's a link hope it helps

If I were you, I would list my personal qualities which could help me with the job and for each quality give an example and the thing/job I have done before to support it.

Do some research first. Some storage provide racks and shelves, do you have knowledge of this? Dehumidifier may be used in some area to keep the moisture away, do you know that? So, get some info about the business first before you approach them.

That's what a self-storage manager said on the Net

See if you still want the job.

However, when you apply don't make mistakes like these

List what you can offer that others don't have (and of course you are obviously in a weak position)

> You can start any time - 8 am tomorrow morning
> You are familiar with the area
> You can speak and write 3 languages
> You have bookkeeping experience (or you have done a course)
> You are neat and organised - you may invite them for home visit, they probably won't come to see your place
> Volunteer records
> Show them you are in good health, strong, have good eyesight - examination report
> You are starting some evening school next month (better related to the job you apply for)
> Tell them your hobbies (only include those that help)

etc, etc

Everyone when they start a job, they remain without any work exp. in the cover letter u need to highlight your qualification and achievement (summar job etc.) which qualify you for this job

Answer 5

have you ever volunteered for anything at all? That counts as experience. Or be truthful, tell them you have no experience but really want the job, will always be present and on time, eager to learn.

Answer 6

Lie. Everybody lies, at least a little, on their resumes.
