Covering letters, from my perspective, are about the individual. It is your chance to say who you are and what you are about.

The CV is for the facts, the covering letter is about the individual, your strengths, weaknesses, etc. It is therefore very difficult to produce a generic one.

 

I use a cover letter. I was told its nice to have.

 

I agree totally with Simon. What is the point of a covering letter if it's just a copy and paste and re-hash of something found on the Internet? Any employer worth his salt will recognise it as such. You should write the covering letter fom scratch, in your own style, using you own words and experiences.

 

Yep, I always write mine from scratch.
