I do too

but you'll feel better when you get a new job

They always feel so cliche after writing them. I wish companies didn't want them at all

Cool--just trying to help.

Got the cover letter done but it sounds like poo

1/12/2009 7:22:45 PM

You'll get better as time goes on. Then you'll realize how depressed you are that you've become such an expert at writing cover letters because companies are getting a fuck ton of resumes for each open position.

Oh well...

OMG I hate this too.

I never know what to say.

I'll probably end up getting a job at McDonalds anyways with the way the economy is going.

1/12/2009 7:29:48 PM

I prefer more elaborate application processes

but that's because my resume has been for shit up till recently

1/12/2009 7:30:19 PM

I never wrote one.... on my 3rd real job

1/12/2009 7:33:47 PM

i suck at them too
luckily you don't have to be very eloquent to get a job in early childhood

1/12/2009 7:41:58 PM

questionnaires >> cover letters

1/12/2009 8:38:30 PM

agreed ... I hate writing them as well

1/12/2009 10:54:31 PM

Just wrote two more, have one in an envelope to send out, submitted the other online.

Yeah this is a blast. I just have a base cover letter that I'm modifying for each letter. My experience section doesn't change much because the experience I have is pretty relevant to most engineering jobs I'd apply to. Just gotta adjust the start and end paragraphs so it is appropriate for the company you're applying to.

Ah... I wish turnaround time was faster on these and that my boss gave warning that I needed to find a new job before the holiday season came up. Job listings were pretty stagnant until after christmas. :/

I sent the letter to my HR friend and she said it sounds good. That makes me a little more confident

1/13/2009 8:37:21 PM

i read one the other day that was like

Quote :

"I would like to be considered for the job opening. Please read my attached resume and see that how my skills are right for this job."

i put a smiley face on that bitch, fuck cover letters

1/13/2009 8:59:40 PM

need some quick help. what should you put in your cover letter to let a company know that even though you seem overqualified that 1. pay is not your top concern 2. you want to work also for more experience.

?
