If you’re applying for jobs and getting no responses, you might be making the same mistake I did—neglecting your cover letter. For months, I focused only on my resume, assuming that was all hiring managers cared about. But then I came across this article https://www.businessphrases.net/why-you-should-write-a-cover-letter-83-of-employers-read-you-through-this-letter/ It explains how 83% of employers actually read cover letters, and they often use them to filter out applicants before even looking at resumes. After learning this, I started tailoring my cover letters for each job, making sure they highlighted my most relevant skills. Almost immediately, I saw a jump in interview requests. If you’ve been skipping this step, I highly recommend reading the article—it might be the missing piece in your job search!
