Cover letters can be meaningful for an entirely different reason. When I was still an undergrad, I wanted to apply for an internship. I tried hard to write that cover letter, tell them what motivates me to do that job and why I wanted to work there. I just couldn't. I felt like I was lying to myself. That was when I realized I should switch professions.
