Cover letters
Post Body

What are your thoughts on cover letters? A lot of job applications are asking for them.

Personally, I’ve was a recruiter in the tech industry for 8 years before getting my CPT and making the career shift. I’ve read LOADS of cover letters and can honestly say they all look the exact same. I don’t think they help candidates stand out at all because their experience matters more than their ability to write a fancy letter.

What is it like for this industry? Do hiring managers care about cover letters?

I'm in AU, Sydney.

Cover letter did not matter to me - the industry is begging for PTs over here.
