I don’t even bother with cover letters anymore.

Has that been effective for you? 😅

I haven’t written a cover letter in over a decade—I still get interviews regularly in this market. If you have at least one familiar company/brand name on your resume/cv, more than likely you’ll get a screen. Though if the role is incredibly sought after you should consider it.

Clarify: *work for a popular company or reputable education

Worth experimenting with roles you dont necessarily “care about”

This 100% and its such a shame too. Though recently I’m more inclined to go the more casual/fun/informal route or forgo the cover letter completely.
