This post is in response to this blog post about cover letters from imediaconnection.com. In the article, there are 5 great points about writing a cover letter and how it can affect the entire application process. If you are applying for a job that requires a cover letter, this article is a must read.

Also, keep in mind that the job you are applying for may not require a cover letter. When in doubt, use a cover letter. But, most importantly, show the employer that you are creative and let your personality shine. Right now I work for a large corporation and I didn't include a cover letter with my resume because it does not demonstrate my personality. I was hired for this job because I matched the personality and the required skills they were looking for, not because I submitted a well written cover letter.

What jobs have you applied for that required a cover letter?
