I want an honest answer. Maybe from someone who gets resumes from potential candidates in HR. Are cover letters really that important to getting a call back from a potential employer?
I've sent at least 30 resumes and cover letters off in the past month with ZERO success. My problem is, is that they take WAY too long to write, and I just end up sounding like a kiss-a$$ by saying how great the company is, and how I would love to work there,...yada yada yada....
Monster has this thing where you can apply for jobs with one click, and I wanna do it, but I don't wanna keep changing the stupid cover letter around. I'm thinking about just not including one at all (which is an option). So my question is, honestly, do people in HR actually read cover letters? Or do they just go right to the resume and qualifications of the candidate?
Please help, I'm getting fed up job searching.
