Ask HN: How to submit cover letter on recruiting sites

3 pointsby pixelesqueabout 1 year ago
This question is triggered by looking at some of the jobs listed in the &quot;Who&#x27;s Hiring&quot; post, and seeing that many which use sites like:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boards.greenhouse.io<p>to do the actual submittion only seem to allow one attachment for a CV&#x2F;Resume, with no ability to write anything or attach anything else for a cover letter.<p>In the past (last time I looked for jobs was 3 years ago), many of the job boards allowed you to submit additional cover letter attachments (or at least had a large textbox for a general description), so what would the recommendation be for sites like: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boards.greenhouse.io ?<p>Modify the CV .pdf to customise it &#x2F; include the cover letter pre-amble, and submit that? Or do nothing and just submit the CV (that seems less than ideal, but maybe it gets ingested and stripped away anyway)?
