@realisticrecruiting: Replying to @Wendy Turner cover letters may feel bery dumb, but if doing something dumb can help you get a job isnt it worth the time? #jobsearchtips #careeradvice #resume
I got multiple interviews for a position I was clearly under qualified for simply because I wrote a cover letter. They told me directly my cover letter got me the interview. If it’s required, write it

As a hiring manager, the cover letter must explain something that your resume doesn’t. Don’t just list your job titles and duties in paragraph form.

Chapt gpt with “write a cover letter for the following job description using the attached resume for reference.” Attach your resume, add job description in “”, then adjust results accordingly. Done.

If there isn’t a place to upload a cover letter, do you merge it with your resume and make it page 1 and upload it together with where they ask you to upload your resume?

I'm a director level with global team. I usually don't get lots of applicants. However I always scan the CV and cover letter in deciding with who I want to talk. What I look for is (cont.)

I once had an ex colleague forward my resume to a hiring manager. They skimmed my resume and decided that I didn't have the right skill set.

I've only used cover letters at the beginning of my career (25 yrs ago) and once recently when I was looking at a job that was outside my field. I think the cover letter is what got me the interview.

I’m not doing a cover letter. This makes sorting through bad employers much easier

As a former manager I didn’t give a hoot about cover letters. I still use them as an applicant now with a twist. I just take their bulleted reqs and write a sentence or two I fulfill said req. never longer than a page. Always to the point. Make the recruiter and HM job easier.

I think it depends. Some places don't care, so I wouldn't make one if they don't want one. But if it's required or if it's for a job I really like, then I write one.

I feel like reaching out to the HM on LinkedIn to express your interest in the company/role & the reasons why is the modern cover letter.

they're good for career pivots and explaining why you applied even though background isn't a 100% match👍

Personally, I won’t look at an applicant if there’s no cover letter. With limited space on a resume it can be used to set yourself apart.

Senior leader here, I never had a manager that worked for didn't care. I also don't care.

As a hiring manager, the cover letter is the first check point! if it's terrible then they won't be short listed, if it's great then I'll look at the CV.

In my personal experience, I have found that 75% the places I have been applying to not only ask for a cover letter, but dont give an option to include one
