It's not a bad idea. A lot of times the modern cover letter is just a one paragraph email that introduces you, why you're emailing, and gives your contact information while thanking someone for taking the time to look at your attached resume. Sending a naked email with a resume attachment is just weird

False. The Simpsons is eternal. Every generation knows and has seen The Simpsons. The Simpsons will be around when humanity dies out.

I have never seen the Simpsons. My parents thought it was too obscene. They had it higher on their list of things we'd get in trouble for even mentioning than things like mortal kombat, south park, beavis and butthead, mtv in general... I figure there's too much of it to get caught up with so i'm fine with not watching it and eternally not "getting" all the simpsons memes.

Probably for the best. As someone who is truly fixated on Golden Age Simpsons, what made it special has been so thoroughly integrated into pop culture by its successors and descendants it likely would not have the same resonance, the same way I can appreciate Cheers but gently caress if I actually find any of it worth the watch.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I have never seen the Simpsons. My parents thought it was too obscene. They had it higher on their list of things we'd get in trouble for even mentioning than things like mortal kombat, south park, beavis and butthead, mtv in general... My parents had the Simpsons on their list of "too obscene" as well. And it stuck around way longer than it should have, because they got this idea in their head in 1992 or whatever, and it just never went away. Like, in highschool, I could talk about watchinf the new South Park, that's fine, you're an older teenager and becoming mature enough to understand. But the Simpsons? Still off limits. However, that just made me binge the Simpsons at any chance I got. Going to friends houses who had the seasons on DVD was the best. I don't know if I saw all of the episodes thru season 12, but I've seen a good chunk of them. As far as catching up, season 1 is solid, but definitely a warm up season, I wouldn't necessarily watch it first, it's probably better appreciated after watching some of the later seasons. Seasons 2-7 are the absolute cream of the crop, the Simpsons at its absolute best. 7-11 are amazing seasons, but the later it gets, the air of ideas starting to dry up starts sneaking in. Plotlines are gradually getting wackier, it begins to slowly, gently drift away from everything that made the Simpsons great. It still is excellent, hilarious television, it just feels like it is something in the process of coming to an end, especially 10 and 11. Those are the seasons worth catching up on. Season 11 ended with a "Behind the Music" parody called "Behind the Laughter" which was an excellent opportunity to end the show on a high note. But they neglected that opportunity, and began to just crank out garbage. Seasons 12+ still have the occasional witty joke and a few laughs, but they are few and far between. It is but the charred, empty husk of a once great show ( Zombie Simpsons has some great commentary on this subject). Don't worry fam, I got you :"OK Boomer"

theflyingorc posted:That's because the HR person at a lot of companies gets dozens and dozens of resumes, and their job starts to feel like "eliminating bad candidates" rather than finding good ones. This is accurate. My workplace has no HR department but putting an ad on Indeed gets you thousands of resumes. About the only thing you can do is throw out anything obviously bad (like not staying at a job more than a few months or bad spelling) and go from there.

Other than that you really don't want to be noticeable for your cover letter unless you nail it like that one guy.

I assure you they don't care that you want this but what THEY don't want is the argument/lawsuit that they would get into every day if they told every person why they didn't get hired. Also it would be a huge pain in the dick.

TVs Ian posted:Also, "Just walk around town, talk to managers, and hand out your resume." All the applications are online now, and half of them involve a personality test that if you fail, the manager will never see your application. My parents generally aren't that bad at all for boomers, but this is the one thing they do. I remember groaning after my dad suggested this.
