I am the opposite. I have interviewed and subsequently hired very good people primarily on the first contact, which is often a cover letter.
The CV also mattered, but in the end, both are just a vehicle to get an interview.
- geoelectric 10y agoTo be clear, a cold-application cover letter? First contact, yeah, but I've mostly seen it with handshakes, networking, or the type of letter that also namedrops an internal referral.
- bjelkeman-again 10y agoNot sure if we are talking about the same thing. I primarily tried to say that I think the cover letter matters to me. One was so compelling I jumped at the opportunity to talk to the person. Now a very appreciated colleague of mine.
