I have never written a cover letter and probably never will.

I don’t know I’m applying now and writing cover letters for all my apps just trying to put in as many key words from the job descriptions as possible

It was important during 1998.

I've never written one either. It hasn't stopped me from getting interviews and eventual offers.

As a hiring manager I don't really look at the cover letter. Definitely write a thank you note though after your interview.

It’s as important as your appendix.

You people apply? I just press the "yes" button on LinkedIn messages from recruiters who pique my interest and send some copypasta for more info and the schedule in which I accept calls. This copypasta also has a link to download my updated CV so it avoids that whole request, too.

Linkedin is all you need
