Yes, because it is the standard practice. Complying with the standard practice makes you look professional and knowledgeable. The cover letter is an important part of your resume and a good one can make you stand out among competing applicants.
A good cover letter should do the following:
- Introduce you to the prospective employer.
- Highlight relevant qualifications.
- Explain what your resume can't explain.
- Show that you have done some research about the company you are applying to.
- Exhibit your written communication skills.
- Persuade the employer to grant you an interview.
