Cover letters still matter.

Dillon Ford is the Marketing Manager for ePromos.com, a promotional products company based in New York, NY. His company hires interns interested in marketing. He says not sending a cover letter is a huge mistake.

When I look at resumes, I always look at the cover letters first because those give me the best sense of what kind of writer they are, what kind of interest they have in the position, and how well they are able to put concepts together to make a statement.

Ford adds that template cover letters are just as bad as not sending one at all. He says intern hopefuls who submit form letters aren't relating any of their experience/interest to the job posting, they aren't mentioning anything about what drew them to the job description/posting/company and that just shows me laziness. We don't want someone that can't be bothered to do some kind of due diligence to get a position. We want someone that goes out of their way to get this position and that usually means doing research about the position and the company.
