How do you deploy the cover letter? I always package it in with the resume to force it to be read rather than just in the dedicated cover letter spot.

- soneca 6y agoI always use the cover letter spot, never occurred to me that trick. Might be a good idea. Still, the GP argument is that a hiring manager would read the cover letter first. This trick would help with other type of managers
- MattGaiser 6y agoI often write very unique cover letters, so I want to force them to at least be skimmed.
- azemetre 6y agoDo you have the cover letter be the first page or the second? I'm now thinking about doing this myself. Figured it would be more likely read when it's part of the resume itself.
- MattGaiser 6y agoI put it first. I want it read. Then they can be encouraged to read the resume in more detail.
