Keep in mind that the people doing the hiring donāt want to be reading resumes either. Thatās why networking is still the best way to land a new job.

If I were applying I might do a cover letter for like my top 2-3 picks just to try and tip the scales.
I do the hiring for my department and most cover letters are AI/template garbage but sometimes Iāll get a short and sweet one that seems genuine and it gives a legitimate edge.
