I write quite well and could indeed craft an excellent custom cover letter but I refuse to include cover letters when applying for jobs and I've never had problems landing great interviews and jobs. Letting my experience and educational background speak for me has never let me down, and I'm no rocket scientist. If an employer ignored my resume, its probably better that I don't work for them, its the first sign of arrogance and disregard to throw away the intellectual capital of time honored industry practices as an employer as a blanket statement backed by faulty reasoning unless you're hiring someone for a writing job. I don't include cover letters because it leaves room for discussion when I'm called in for an interview.
- humblepatience 16y agoWait so, why don't you write a cover letter again? on right because... its the first sign of arrogance and disregard to throw away the intellectual capital of time honored industry practice cover letter is industry standard too, yo, but you disregarded it
- winternett 16y agoHaving a cover letter is an extra, your resume is the center piece. You can have a resume without a cover letter, but you can't have a cover letter without a resume. Not including a cover letter helps me to get in the door, if a potential employer is serious about hiring me, I have no problems preparing or giving them past writing samples. I am an individual , and I'm not bound by EEOE rules, that's another reason I can disregard time honored industry practices, and how its a bigger deal if a company ignores resumes.
