<description><![CDATA[I recently heard a career coach say that if you include a cover letter with your resume, it should go at the end of ab electronic submission (page 2 or 3), because it will interfere with/downgrade ATS results.

Has anyone heard of this and is it true? If so, why?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have not heard of that Steve. As long as you are adhering to the instructions of the job posting, that is all that matters.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some job submission pages ask for a resume, then separately, an uploaded cover letter. I usually submit my CV (which includes the cover letter, resume and any other support) twice, so I'm at least following directions by not ignoring the cover letter instruction. I guess I could re-do things to submit each separately. I'd love it if PARWCC would survey its members who are HR managers.]]></description>
