STIS: cover letters - yes or no?

Posted by colin (aka colinski) Jul 1 '13, 08:58

i always see the option, always add one.. do they really matter or does anybody care at this point? does it make me look like an ass? or does it make it look like i care?

I see the cover letter as personalizing your application to that particular position. - Meg Jul 1, 09:06 2

i haven't seen a hard copy cover letter since Baltimore. i just put the info in my e-mail responding to the job posting now -- nm - charlie Jul 1, 08:59 4
- this is a job portal, so you have to upload resume and optional cover letter. just write it like an email? -- nm - colin Jul 1, 09:00 3
  - well if you can upload it, put it on letterhead as a PDF i guess - charlie Jul 1, 09:03 2
    - I'd do this, but don't be surprised if it doesn't get read. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 1, 09:05 1
      - ok. i'll just keep it short and sweet. there's not much else i can put in it that's not spelled out in my resume. -- nm - colin Jul 1, 09:05
yes, just make it short -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 08:59
