I hear more and more advice from people telling me to use AI or Chat GPT for cover letters. Surely this is unappealing from a recruitment point of view. No one is going to hire a writer who uses Chat GPT, I would imagine.

I want to! But I don’t. It comes off feeling like I’m cheating on a test or something. I have used it for some outlining help, but I make sure to write it all out myself and just use it as a brainstorming tool to get all the keywords.

Recruiters can spot the generic AI tone a mile away. Using ChatGPT as a rough draft is fine, but sending it straight out is career suicide. A writer who cannot write their own cover letter screams red flag.

I agree, usually you can spot the chat gpt cover letters pretty easily! If you want to go down that route definitely use it as a base and edit it to sound more like yourself

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d

Looking to get into photography and want to splurge on my first non phone / non point and shoot camera. I’m trying to decide between the Nikon Z50 and the Canon EOS RP. I will mostly use it for landscape, and then family friends pets in casual settings. I’m hoping to find a camera I can learn on and grow into. I don’t expect lens selection to be a major factor for me as I doubt I will carry multiple lenses - probably just one at a time. Any advice?

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?
