[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are spending 4-6 hours "crafting" your cover letter for each job, you are wasting a ridiculous amount of time. Cut it down to less than an hour, likely no one is going to read your cover letter, anyway.[/quote] I'm the person who posted that, and I completely disagree. I've been on interview panels for less senior positions in the same field, many times, and I absolutely read and pay attention to cover letters, as do my colleagues. I may not be 100% efficient in writing my own, granted, but I certainly know what a good one looks like, and I aimed to submit a good one. These aren't 2 paragraph cover letters. They're 2-3 page cover letters in a highly technical, highly competitive field.[/quote]
