# Internship cover letter: example with no experience

## Connect classroom work to a real responsibility

Fictional posting: check order records and prepare weekly exception summaries. The applicant has a class spreadsheet project and a campus job, but no previous internship. These two experiences can support a relevant paragraph.

### Make the connection before writing the letter

| Responsibility in the posting | Applicant's actual evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Check order records | Built a class spreadsheet that identified missing fields; checked a sample manually |
| Communicate unresolved items | Kept handover notes for the next shift in a campus job |

## Your turn

Draft one paragraph using both examples. Keep the classroom and employment settings clear.

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Replace the fictional tasks with your own. Delete any sentence that neither explains your interest in the actual work nor supports your ability to do it.
