Why do people hate cover letters:
1. Takes a long time to write a customized, targeted letter.
2. People have a hard time summarizing their career into a letter less than one page
3. The applicant wants to showcase successes and skills but does not want to come across as a braggard.
4. Cover letters are boring, therefore tedious to write. However, a cover letter does not have to be hard - just straight to the point with successes and skills that are easily identifiable.
However, most hiring managers want to see cover letters and the letters are still used as a screening tool. Those that say the cover letter is obsolete is just flat out wrong.
