    I was called by 3 different jobs (of the 50+ I’ve applied to) this week that I need a cover letter otherwise my resume goes straight in the trash. Which is wild because I know nobody is handwriting letters.

    So off to generate a ChatGPT Cover Letter Bot I went. 🤞

      Seriously? CVs are just dumb, I don’t understand why they are even still an option to submit, never mind being required. I would expect most to just ignore them since it’s literally just fluff.

        They are an option because they are self perpetuating just like leet code.

        I wrote one when I got my last job so I only look at resumes that have them.

        Same reason colleges require stupid fucking essays. Just bullshit tradition and feeling like they’re important and have special Spidey senses in picking out good people.
