Why write these things?
Do you submit a cover because it's considered "good form?" Or because it's a necessarily evil...just one more chore on the job hunting to-do list?
Do you send a thank you note because it's the polite thing to do? Is it a ridiculous relic of a simpler time that ought to be retired?
Newsflash...
Writing a cover letter isn't an empty exercise.
Sending a thank you note isn't just a quaint custom.
There's a reason for each...and that reason has nothing to do with convention or tradition or habit.
Cover letters and thank you notes are sales tools. Important sales tools. How successfully you execute each one may be the difference between getting the offer and coming up empty handed. Put on your salesperson hat. No hat? Get one. For the duration of your search, you are in sales - doesn't matter what you do for your "day job." Approach this process as you would if you were prospecting for a new customer.
So - the cover letter and thank you note are your sales letters.
The cover introduces the product (you) to the prospect (the hiring manager). It tells the prospect how your product is going to solve his problem. (This of course means you need to have thoroughly researched the prospect - just like any good salesperson would.) It highlights how your product is better than what the competition is selling. It plays a critical role in helping you secure the sales meeting (the interview).
The thank you is the recap. You send it to the prospect after the sales call to reiterate the product features and benefits - to reinforce why he should make the purchase. It's your last chance to "make your best case."
Hmmmm...these letters aren't just meaningless exercises designed to waste your time.
Take these two steps seriously. They're critical elements of a successful search.

Is Menstruation Obsolete? $3.95 Is Menstruation Obsolete? argues that regular monthly bleeding is not the "natural" state of women, and that it actually places them at risk of several medical conditions of varying severity. The authors maintain that while menstruation may be culturally significant, it is not medically meaningful. Moreover, they propose that suppressing menstruation has remarkable health advantages. Because of cultural changes, shorter durations of breast feeding, and birth control, the reproductive patterns of modern women no longer resemble that of their Stone age ancestors. Women have moved from the age of incessant reproduction to the age of incessant menstruation. Consequently, they often suffer from clinical disorders related to menstruation: anemia, endometriosis, and PMS, just to name a few. The authors encourage readers to recognize what has gone previously unnoticed that this monthly discomfort is simply not obligatory. They present compelling evidence that the suppression of menstruation is a viable option for women today, and that it can be easily attained through the use of birth control pills. In fact, they reveal that contraceptive manufacturers, knowing that many women equate menstruation with femininity and that without monthly bleeding would fear that they were pregnant, engineered pill dosage regimens to ensure the continuation of their cycles. Indeed, throughout history societies have assigned menstruation powerful meaning, and Is Menstruation Obsolete? presents a fascinating history of how menstruation inspired doctors to try therapeutic bleeding for a variety of ailments, and how this therapy remained dominant in Western medicine until the early 20th century. IsMenstruation Obsolete? offers women a fresh view of menstruation, providing them with the information they need to make progressive choices about their health. This is a message whose time has come. |

Are Prisons Obsolete? $11.95 With her characteristic brilliance, grace and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. For generations of Americans, the abolition of slavery was sheerest illusion. Similarly,the entrenched system of racial segregation seemed to last forever, and generations lived in the midst of the practice, with few predicting its passage from custom. The brutal, exploitative (dare one say lucrative?) convict-lease system that succeeded formal slavery reaped millions to southern jurisdictions (and untold miseries for tens of thousands of men, and women). Few predicted its passing from the American penal landscape. Davis expertly argues how social movements transformed these social, political and cultural institutions, and made such practices untenable. In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration", and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole. |

Obsolete Tatar Units of Measurement $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A native system of weights and measures was used by Tatars until 1924, but became obsolete when the Soviet Union adopted the metric system. The Tatar system shares many units with the Russian system (e.g. saj n and disatina), which is close to the English (The Russian system existed since ancient Rus, but under Peter the Great, the Russian units were redefined relative to the English system.), therefore a duym is pretty much equal to an inch. This list includes their Tatar language names. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 66 Publication Date: 2010/07/31 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.16 inches |

Obsolete Military Awards of the United States $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Obsolete military awards of the United States are United States military awards which have been officially removed from U.S. military award precedence charts and are listed as Obsolete Military Decorations in military award publications and instructions. Typically, the U.S. military will declare a decoration obsolete twenty to thirty years after its last issuance to an active duty member of the military or, in the case of medals designed for members of the reserve forces, a drilling reservist attending annual training. Medals for valor (such as the Medal of Honor and Silver Star) are rarely declared obsolete regardless of the amount of time which has passed since the last issuance. This is since such medals could be reinstated, on very short notice, in the event of an armed conflict in which the United States armed forces would be called to service. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 86 Publication Date: 2010/08/09 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.21 inches |

Obsolete Communism: The Left Wing Alternative $18.92 In May 68 a student protest spread to other universities, to Paris factories and in a few weeks to most of France. A million Parisians marched; ten million workers went out on strike. At the center of the fray was Daniel Cohn-Bendit. "Obsolete Communism" was written in 5 weeks immediately after the state regained control, and no account of May 68 can match its immediacy or urgency. |

Obsolete Russian Units of Measurement $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A native system of weights and measures was used in Imperial Russia and after the Russian Revolution, but it was abandoned in 1924 when the Soviet Union adopted the metric system. The Tatar system is very similar to the Russian one, but some names are different. The system existed since ancient Rus, but under Peter the Great, the Russian units were redefined relative to the English system. Until Peter the Great the system also used Cyrillic numerals, and only in the 18th century Peter the Great replaced it with the HinduArabic numeral system.
