16. The Truth About Cover Letters
from Hack The Interview Hosted by Adrienne & Loreen Dinkelacker
PSA: We don't read cover letters. So... does that mean you don't need one? Yes... unless you see that dreaded asterisk next to "Coverletter" on the application requiring you to upload one to apply. Ugh. Since you may need it for those situations, we help break down exactly what to include in your cover letter so that it's effective without you having to waste a bunch of time on it. In this episode we go over: - Why we don't read your cover letter - Where did this cover letter thing started - Why companies may still require them on an application, even though recruiters don't read them - How to craft one and what to include without spending a lot of time on it
