90% of the job applicants just send a resume to the hiring team.
Recruiters spend quality time reviewing resumes and LinkedIn profiles for hiring Product Managers and there are fewer chances that your resume is rejected outright with ATS (Unless you do not have PM experience).
A key challenge for recruiters is mapping the skills on your resume to skills needed for the PM role. Not everyone has a straight transition and there are chances that your application stands rejected.
The cover letter is the blessing in disguise in this case and gives you the space to pitch more about your fit for the role.
Feel free to schedule some time with me to iterate on drafting a cover letter that works to stand out while applying for your dream job.
