>> If you're gonna send a cover letter, spend five minutes to tailor it
to the company you're sending it to.
Everyone can tell a boilerplate cover letter.
I've gotten cover letters that talk about a job
that I wasn't even posting for, it was that generic.
And if I ask you for a cover letter and you don't send one,
you just fire off your resume, I won't even look at it.
And I'm not in the minority.
I would venture to say that everybody is gonna do the same thing,
unless they're completely desperate, in which case you don't wanna work there anywhere.
Any place worth working, you really need to take the time and show them that you care.
