Many people overlook the importance of a good and well-designed cover letter. There shouldn't be any debate related to whether the cover letter should be attached with the CV or not. When a person is applying for a job position there is a flood of people applying for the same job role. Many cover letter writers in Ireland recommend mandatorily attaching the cover letter with a CV. The Irish CV only includes the basic details of the individual's professional life whereas the cover letter can be as long as two-three pages including all the detailed information about the candidate's professional life. This is the major reason of including a cover letter with the CV.
