[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally always do it unless there's no way to do so through a computerized application system. [/quote] This is for attorney jobs, btw.[/quote] I work for a fed agency and hire attorneys. We require a cover letter, and I can't tell you the number of people we have rejected based on the cover letter alone. A cover letter is your opportunity to show us your personality, why you believe you would be a good asset for our office, and that you know how to write a letter without typos. You would think this is easy, but usually people fail at one of those three.[/quote] +1. Attorneys need to know how to communicate in writing, and a cover letter is way to test that. If the person can't even do that properly, why should I waste time interviewing?[/quote]
