    For me, the cover letter is the first filter. Did they write a reasonably good and unique one? Does it address the job description? Do they explain how past experience prepares them and/or do they explain how this would be a mutually beneficial experience?

      Cover letters should be abolished along with people who say things like “I have the right to hire the best candidate for the job”.
