It’s not about taking the easy way out though; anyone can write that cover letter. You can’t fake the interview, so that’s what has always mattered to me.

For me, the cover letter is the first filter. Did they write a reasonably good and unique one? Does it address the job description? Do they explain how past experience prepares them and/or do they explain how this would be a mutually beneficial experience?

Cover letters should be abolished along with people who say things like “I have the right to hire the best candidate for the job”.

Who says that? It’s a new one to me.
