Do cover letters still matter in 2026?

Our answer: Yes, but only if you write them well.

Otherwise, it's a waste of time.

To give you an example, one of the subscribers to our Substack newsletter, The Global Move, recently wrote a cover letter that opened the door for him at a Berlin-based tech company while applying from abroad.

He kindly gave us permission to share that cover letter publicly, so we could break down what made it effective and share practical advice other job seekers can use when writing their own.

You can find the cover letter and our thoughts on why it worked in this new article 👇
