Should I include a cover letter when submitting an application? I’ve heard lots of hiring managers often don’t even look at cover letters anymore. Anyone have experience with not submitting and still getting an offer?

If it’s a required or requested do it otherwise it doesn’t matter

I don’t usually apply for jobs without a referral unless it’s through a recruiter, so I don’t remember the last time I created a cover letter. See if you can find someone to recommend you before you submit the application

I have a few people I know at Deloitte but they can’t refer to entry level positions unfortunately. Should I look on LinkedIn to see if I can network with recruiters?

Include a generic one, no one reads them but they probs do see if you’ve submitted one!

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?

I recently made a jump from large companies with marketing teams off 50-100+ …. To being the entire marketing team myself. I’ve seen marketing ops and analytics work well and know just enough to know that the systems and processes i inherited are NOT working well. I’d like to approach the CEO about hiring a marketing ops/digital marketing manager to be our salesforce/hubspot admin along with managing social and web analytics. What’s a reasonable salary to budget for this role?
