I interviewed at an agency a year ago but didn’t get the job. I submitted a cover letter with a sort of unique intro they have a new opening. Should I use the same cover letter into or change it?

Can’t hurt to change it. Probably will take you 10-15 min to come up with something.

Change it. If the same person reads it again this year, you’ll look lazy.

Thanks that’s what I figured

Yeah, especially if you’re a writer. At least change the first few lines.

People still read cover letters?

Not me. If I have an open position posted I usually get 50-100 submissions. The resume and book will tell me what I need to know.
