Cover Letters: A Thing of The Past or More Important Than Ever?

Yet, according to a study by CareerBuilder, only 44% of job seekers include a cover letter in their application. If most employers are reading cover letters and less than half of applicants are including them, adding a cover letter to your next application could increase your chances of getting the interview exponentially.
