[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want them to stop, tell your colleagues to stop admitting students who send these letters. [/quote] I agree with PP above. As a professor, you should try to appreciate the pressure kids are under to develop resumes and conduct research at an early age. There's not just one source of this advice. There's no way to stop it. And cold e-mailing and calling is all that's available to unconnected kids. Why can't you just consider this occupational junk mail and discard without reacting? That would be kindest. If nothing else, kids are practicing their persuasive communication skills. Have you ever seen the Leonardo DaVinci cold call letter? Career websites love to showcase it: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-leonardo-da-vincis-cover-letter-from-1482-can-help-paul-beirne-3jeac#:~:text=I%20have%20plans%20for%20very,destroying%20those%20of%20the%20enemy. TL; DR. Chill out and have some pity for kids today![/quote]
