How are we addressing cover letters?

Cover letters are for losers and are requested by losers.

people who use the word loser usually complain to their loser friends why they don't get quality jobs and they continue to blame others as the bounce around mid level jobs that a temp can do.

Except I have written cover letters in the past. I never got a job with a cover letter. And the three best jobs I had in my life did not require them. I got a 400k a year job without a cover letter. Meanwhile some 120K jobs require them and your left nut to apply.

I’m guessing you’re a poor writer and in a position that doesn’t require good writing, only good lying.

You do know there are samples out there. Or I can pay someone.

So you’re a good liar, as I suspected.

My current job I was desperate I spent 200 hours on interview process. Four month process, I even had a take home project that took 60-70 hours. We don’t seem to get the best of the best. We get the most desperate.

USA Jobs is the worst for this. I literally interviewed a job I was 10x qualified for and they should have just hired me.

The 200 hour job was over 4 months. I was consulting and or unemployed so spending time in it was worth ok.

To be honest even resumes are overkill.

You don’t think job applications should require a resume?
