Even fewer read cover letters. Most people hiring in tech do the following:
1) Ignore cover letter
2) Scan resume for signs that employee may be at all relevant
3) Contact for phone screen
Anyone who requires a cover letter is not someone you want to work for. It's simply disrespectful and burdensome for a prospective employee who will often be ignored.
No transcripts, no GPA.
- wglb 13y agoInteresting. My biggest successes in getting hired have been when I spent time on a cover letter. Conversely, when I am pulled into hiring decisions, I first look for a cover letter, and i generally get more out of that than resumes. Resumes seem to be near spam, or written by the Markov Resume Writing Service.
