To me, I don’t understand why someone would proofread their resume but not their cover letter.

Yeah, I hear that...but you'd be surprised at how often I see perfectly-rendered resumes, and then multiple obvious issues in a cover letter.

The cover letter helps you get the interview - after I make the decision (offer or not), I pretty much forget about the cover letter.
