Is a cover letter very important to accompany the CV for HR professionals or any other professional?

Hi Madhusudhan,
A cover letter is nowhere considered a mandatory document; however, it does play a vital role in adding focus to your resume. You are addressing the employer with a clear mention of the position you're applying for and how you are qualified for that position. If you're serious about landing the job, a well-written cover letter gives you a chance to sell yourself to the employer in a narrative format and explain why you are an ideal candidate. A cover letter also affords you the opportunity to highlight your strongest qualifications and strengths, etc.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

Dear Madhusudhan,
Ramya Ji has appropriately responded to your inquiry. Though it is not mandatory, the Job Application Letter (JAL) is a document that I always recommend my students/trainees to attach with their CVs. If you are comfortable in writing and ensuring that the text has no mistakes in syntax, style, grammar, spellings, and punctuation marks, then by all means, do include a JAL. The JAL is fundamentally a sales letter highlighting your Unique Selling Propositions (USPs), and oftentimes you can be shortlisted simply on the basis of the JAL.
You must write the letter yourself and have it edited and proofread by someone who is proficient in language skills.
See you smiling. That's good.
