“Does anyone even read cover letters anymore?”
Yes — and recruiters told me they can always tell who took the time to write a thoughtful one.
Here’s the secret: your cover letter isn’t about restating your qualifications. It’s about telling your story — why you’re drawn to the company, how your skills translate, and what motivates you.
Think of it as your personal trailer: engaging, authentic, and memorable.
If your cover letter reads like ChatGPT wrote it (don’t worry, I won’t take offense), rewrite it until it sounds like you.
Recruiters read hundreds of these — make yours the one they remember.
