Everytime I have read any information pertaining to etiquette and resumes the article has stated to ALWAYS include a cover letter. It makes your resume look more professional and give you an extra edge. Even when I was looking for a job and went to various employers I included a cover letter. More than likely you will hand your resume to a receptionist who will pass it on to the HR dept. The HR person will not meet you usually on that day so you need to treat it like you're mailing it in or emailing it in.

I would always include a cover letter that is personalized for where you are applying. However, if you are just applying to a job like at mcdonalds or something of that sort, I woudln't bother with one.

No. A cover letter is when you are applying online or through mail. Bring a couple extra copies of your resume and references in case they ask.

No. You can cover everything in person that you would in a cover letter. Just bring extra copies of your resume and copies of your list of references. Good luck!

You may or may not *need* one, but if it's a job you really want, it never hurts to go that extra step. It will show that you are really serious and professional, and give you a chance to make a lasting first impression. If other people figure they don't need one, you will really stand out.
