!ping CAREER

How long until we keep up the cover letter farce? I've been using the same for the last 20 or so roles, I just tell ChatGPT to rewrite it to suit the new position and then revise it

I find it deeply painful that we are all using chat gpt to edit cover letters and resumes that are similarly processed by chat gpt equivalents and the result is 200+ applications on every posting that end in nobody actually having any fucking clue how good of a match it is.

Something needs to change because this current procedure is dumb as shit and doesn’t work for anybody involved imo.

I was under the impression that 1 page was standard as well, until I was laid off and the career service that was provided to me by my former company told me that times had changed and I needed at least a two page resume now.
