RE: monster.com and the like

>>> When hiring managers post their job listings on sites like
monster.com, etc. and it lets you submit your resume through that web
site, if you don't include a cover letter will your resume even get
looked at?

My general experience has always been that when you add one, you get a
much better response rate (or, I should say, never gotten a call from a
company I didn't send a cover letter to).  Responses are even better if
the letter is tailored to the company you are submitting to.  If you're
a hiring manager getting the flood of response from a Monster.com ad,
it's pretty easy to tell who just submitted without much thought, and
who really seems interested in the job.
