????But not everyone is ready to call it quits on the cover letter. "The cover letter is the only thing you have that separates the person from being a candidate and being a human being," says Charlton. "Resumes are about skills, cover letters are an opportunity for a person to indicate their desire to work for a company."

????In other cases, the cover letter can help answer questions about the candidate that may have been raised by the resume, says Brian Bruce, vice president, Premier Solutions Restaurant Recruiting. "Sometimes there's some explanation needed. If they're sending me a resume and all their experience is in California, in the cover letter portion they can say, 'I'm moving to Pennsylvania in six weeks.'"

????Charlton sees the marginalization of the cover letter as an "erosion of professionalism" and if nobody is looking at these cover letters, that's a problem with recruiting. "A good cover letter followed by a good resume, that's like brains and beauty.
