Question to demandside,
if you find the cv of JMC is good but a letter is (not) strong, what would you do?
Not strong letter
-
Who checks cv before the letters? It goes: cover --> letters --> cv. So if the letters are bad, hard to imagine checking the cv.
- Grad student who has no idea what he is talking aboutnormally we only check CVs
I dunno but my feeling was that in the interviews, people knew the letters and checked my CV during the interview.
