When you send a cover letter along with your resume, is the cover
letter scanned also? Does anyone know? I haven't seen this mentioned
anywhere. My cover letter usually contains information that isn't
included in my resume. Actually, I suppose including a cover letter is
a way of extending the resume to 3 pages so I can include more info.
Do you think the cover letter is scanned also? Is the cover letter
just discarded?
