One time I managed to really badly scare myself because I didn't recognize myself in the mirror and was too stupid to understand that that meant I was dreaming.

Had this happen once but I was awake and simultaneously forgot a bunch of other stuff so I'm pretty sure I just got some of that post covid brain damage or something

When I applied for my current job I did do a cover letter and they said I was literally the only person who actually did that out of like 100 applicants and it made a great first impression. Also it takes 30 seconds to make one and you can just use a template (like I did).

Thank-you follow up notes however, nah.

I'm assuming 100 out of 100 applicants use chatGPT for that now.

I've almost exclusively applied for public sector jobs (in Denmark), and they always require a cover letter.

My version of this is one page of three short paragraphs selectively copied from my own previous applications, emphasizing and elaborating particular skills and experiences also mentioned on my résumé (which should never be more than two pages) and proclaiming their relevance to the open position.

Based on the applications I've gotten to read from other people this is way way way more work than the average person puts into it.

Like 90 % of applications were pure garbage; not even AI word salad, just barely edited but clearly human draft text from people with loving master's degrees.

yes I made the robot write cover letters for me that I swap nouns around in

no I shouldn't have to

feel like this shouldn't be controversial in cspam of all places?

(my actual hot take is that cover letters should be illegal because that sort of "cultural fit" "unwritten rules" poo poo is just applied racism)

They can't say it but they want you to affix a picture to the cover letter so they know they are hiring the right guy (male).

I used chat gpt to write the cover letter for my current job.

Always had to edit them, but for vomiting up a big pile of useless corporate speak text that no one will read, it was great.

The whole job recruitment process is dumb as poo poo, you really can't tell if you're getting a good employee before they've been there for a few months at least.

Danish custom is to always have cover letters, which are more accurately translated as applications. Luckily there's a way to avoid them: nepotism and its friend "I know this guy". Really cool if you don't know any guys.

most people apply for jobs when they're annoyed and desperate at their current job. it's just something you do to feel better sometimes.

But if that application is unlikely to get you an interview, what's the point? Do you derive satisfaction from the symbolic act of pressing send on a web form?

This only seems like a valid threat in an already bloated job field. Like sure, under capitalism nobody is indispensable but in the climate of 'nobody wants to work!' how many fields are actually gonna give a poo poo? Is some kid who got conked on the head by LAPD really gonna need to worry that Holden McBloodfeast III is totally throwing her resume in the trash?

I see a lot of responses on Twitter about this, people saying "what's the point of covering up with masks the panopticon we're living in ensures they'll be identified and never have meaningful work again". Of course they're saying this wishfully, hoping the protestors receive a lifetime of punishment and suffering for their actions. I think it's also kind of a cope, since they'd assume people aren't going to do anything too extreme. After all, they have their CAREERS to think about! But if that's not a disincentive nor is violence then they have nothing to stop people from continuing to agitate for their causes.
