Is a Cover Letter More Important Than a CV?

CVs have traditionally been the key element of recruitment, but cover letters are equally important. Many recruiters value cover letters because they offer insights into the applicant's motivation and provide a more comprehensive view of their work experience and professional skills.

Writing a cover letter doesn't have to be difficult, especially with a dedicated tool. CV & cover letter builders like LiveCareer help you create your CV and a matching cover letter by setting the right structure, guiding you through the process, and allowing easy adjustments to your documents.
