Is It OK to Send a Resume Without a Cover Letter?

Create a resume now

Simply said, no, it’s not OK to send a resume without a cover letter because cover letters are necessary. Sending a resume without a cover letter may stop you from getting to the interview stage, as many hiring managers refuse to consider job applications that don’t include a cover letter.

It’s fine to skip writing a cover letter only if you’re using an online application form that doesn’t allow you to attach documents. Still, experts recommend writing it even if the job advertisement doesn’t specifically request one. Even a simple and short cover letter can improve your chances of getting an interview!

Want to write your cover letter fast? Use our cover letter builder. Choose from 20+ professional cover letter templates that match your resume. See actionable examples and get expert tips along the way.
