verbicideI don't understand why cover letters have to be so motherfucking godawful. I hate them. Ellen makes me write a new one for every job I apply. Which I understand is necessary. But each one is so painstaking, it makes me want to scream. She is an angel for reading them over and giving me suggestions, but I never have any idea how to implement her suggestions. It's fucking DATA ENTRY. How juiced up can I possibly sound about it? I'm trying to downplay my previous experience because I'm obscenely overqualified. And they're still not going to hire me.
It's a fucking peon position, not the director of a large corporate segment. How fucking detailed and ass sucking does my cover letter have to be.
ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
WE HAAAAAATES THEM!!
God. Just fucking hire me already.
I keep applying. And I mean, is it really my cover letter that isn't getting me hired. Dude at B-Wire actually took the time to compliment it. Of course I spent a WEEK on that motherfucker. Did I get the job? NO. So what the fucking fuck already.
And of course it totally depends on who you talk to. Meghan was saying that she just tosses cover letters out unread because what's the point, she can see the resume. I read them when I was hiring. And guy at B-W said that he threw out resumes that came without one, or were minimalistic. So RAWR.

Tech skills are a good thing too.
Oh, and my name is Jody Allard heh.
