In 2026, cover letters are still a useful tool for job seekers, and yes, people still write them. Although it's not always required, 98% of recruiters value or anticipate a customized cover letter, making it an excellent practice. Always include a cover letter if asked to do so or if your resume calls for more information (e.g., career change, gaps). Additionally, they show professionalism, diligence, and sincere interest, all of which can help you stand out from other applicants employing one-click solutions. Additionally, be sure to concentrate on your value proposition and keep it brief (two to three paragraphs). Seek assistance from nearby professional Cover Letter Writers if you're having trouble writing one.
