The fresh out of college situation is a good point - I’d recommend a cover letter in that scenario. There isn’t enough experience to assess a candidate so makes sense to counter it with a letter.
- bluGill 4y agoWith fresh out of college you have a degree in computer engineering just like the other 20 applicants for the one position. What you need is some reason - any - to stand out. Otherwise we will randomly interview until someone passes the interview and if you end up last on the random list you won't get an interview as odds are one of the first 5 accepts an offer. If you can stand out you can get to the top of the list, and that gives you a better chance. When you get more experience, your experience speaks for itself. (not always a good thing - if you want to change from embedded development to front end for example you will be overlooked even though there is no reason someone cannot make that change quickly)
