Question

Would you write a cover letter to someone who only asked for an emailed resume?

Answer 1

yes coz u get to explain more rather than just mentioning facts in bullets

Answer 2

YES! Always include a cover letter, addressed to a specific person, stating what position you are interested in or why you are attaching your resume.

Something like this:

Dear Mr. So-and-so,

I am interested in the such-and-such position at such-and-such company. Please find enclosed my resume. I am looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Your full name

address

phone number

Keep it short and down to the point. Best of luck!

Answer 3

It wouldn't hurt. It'll make you look better if anything.

Answer 4

Yes. The cover letter is how you introduce yourself as a professional and explain why you are best for the job. Your resume is just a list of your skills and professional accomplishments.  

Answer 5

yes.  i always do.

Answer 6

Sure.  It should be considered part of the resume.  The worst they can do is ignore it.

Answer 7

YES!  Always include a cover letter--in the case of an emailed resume, even a few lines is better than nothing.

Answer 8

Yes, always include your best cover letter, even if their communication appears that they don't want it. It just makes you look professional, and sets you apart. Besides, you wouldn't want to run the risk that you misinterpreted their "Please email resume" statement to mean they didn't want a cover letter. I agree if this is written that way, they should clarify, "Please send resume and cover letter", but you'd be better safe than sorry to send the cover letter.
