One HR professional saying they donโt read cover letters does not speak for the entire profession.
Donโt skip writing a cover letter just because Sue, your Momโs friend from book club, who works as an HR Generalist at a tool and die company says that cover letters are dead.
@kamaratoffolo The worst outcome of an unwanted cover letter is no one will read it. The best outcome will be that the reviewer will be excited about you before they even read you resume.
@kamaratoffolo HR staff arenโt experts on resumes. They are judging a resume against what they typically see. That it is why job seekers should NOT use their hr buddy to critique or write their resume.
This article hits the nail on the head. The psychological wear and tear on the job seeker cannot be overstated. The suggestions listed will help immensely. Hiring a job coach is another great way to maintain a balance in your life. https://t.co/fazLQohBYg
