Are cover letters still relevant in a world with applicant tracking systems? Absolutely, says Find Your Dream Job guest Kai River. Your cover letter is a chance to tell an employer who you are, why you’re the best person for the job, and the experience you bring to the table. Kai says you should personalize your cover letter for each position you apply for, and share relevant stories that apply to that field or specific job. Kai also suggests keeping your cover letter to one page if possible.
