Is it compulsory to gift someone a machine with the manuals to operate it - even when it isn't stipulated?

Let's assume that two people gift you an unknown machine (your CV is unknown to the recruiter)

Both of the machine serves the same function (You and the other guy have the same level experience)

One comes with a Manual, and the other doesn't come (He submits witha cover letter explaining his CV, and you don't submit any)

Which of the machines would you collect? wink

It is not compulsory except when required or stated. Some companies will ask you for an application letter not cover letter. It Depends on the company or the HRM.

Globacom on going recruitment, they only asked for a CV with attached password photograph.


Two jobs I have gotten so far (I left the first one and rejected the second offer), I didn't write any cover or application letters but the one I am currently I wrote an application letter.


Companies like GE, Cummins Inc, Siemens etc you have to write a cover letter and upload it on your created profile. A column is created the cover letter and CV to be uploaded.


It depends on the companies as clarified with my statement and experience.

Stop using machine manual OK as a yardstick to justify your 50%answer.

The issue with average people is that they never tried to go an extra mile.

Think about this and sleep over it.

You have typed a lot just to prove me wrong and make yourself feel good, but guess what,

YOU WIN!!! smiley

You have gotten just two jobs and you feel so good to call my opinion 50% cheesy (people!!)

I won't counter any of your points, I think I already helped OP on this question.

Don't bother typing back, I won't reply you!

Yes, I told u the truth with experience and anxiomatic proofs and you are calling me average person.

Just to promote your blogging business, you are calling average person.

I gave you facts with examples. I have never pooh-poohed your opinion. I added to what you type and you resulted calling me average person.


Thanks to God, I am not average in all ramification. God has blessed me and glory to his name.


Cover letter or application letter, it depends on the organization or company or HRM involved. Some companies will even asked you for hand-written application letter. Nigerian Railway corporation asked for hand-written application letter. Lakewood asked me for handwritten application letter and two passwords though I didn't go for the interview.

You don't have proofs. Just blabbing.

Op, if a company asks you to submit CV only, submit only the CV. If they ask you to submit CV and cover letter, submit both. Just obey the instructions of the job description. If it is not stated, submit both CV and Cover letter or application letter as the case may be.


Thanks and God bless you. I have been in this field before you were born OK.

Thanks and welcome.

Even Shell graduate recruitment this year, no one wrote a cover or application letter. Even Oando plc too. Even AOS limited too. Dangote plc no one was asked to write a cover or application letter.

All these I was involved. I applied.

I speak with verifiable evidence which is anxiomatic in nature.

General electric, Siemens etc will ask you to upload a cover letter.

It depends on the company or organization.

If they ask you to write a cover letter, write and submit. If they don't, submit only your CV.

Just obey the simple instructions of the job description

Submitting a cover letter with your CV is a requirement by most employers and most won't even consider your application if you don't apply with a cover letter.

I'm motivated by the points and facts you've stated so far. However, i would like your honest opinion and guide on something crucial, how do i contact you please?
Re: Is It Compulsary To Submit Cover Letter With Cv? by pweedyuz(f): 9:08am On Dec 18, 2017

Honestly, i don't know if it's compulsory or not

But i ALWAYS add a cover letter whenever I'm sending my cv to any company whether asked or not.

I just feel sending only my attached cv on an empty mail is me being Lazy.

Even this glo recruitment, i was with friends and we were all applying, i was d only one drafting a cover letter.

Do what suits you. Cover letter or not, a job that's yours will be yours
