I don't necessarily hate it, I find it nice that the applicant went out of their way to do one. I can however tell when its a very general cover letter where they send it to all the locations they apply for.

Do you reciprocate that effort by personally replying to all applicants?

funny

I like cover letters as they provide insight and detail not listed on the resume.

It depends on the cover letter. Usually it's too generic and doesn't add value.

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.

Just posting as a reminder to LEAVE that job (within a reasonable time 😂) and go where the money is!
