Have ChatGPT write a cover letter. If these companies are gonna use robots to sift through applications, use a robot to write something the other robot can understand.

You have to be in the first batch of applications or it won't matter. If you got 1000 applications, wouldn't you stop reading them after the first 10 good ones?

Recruiters say they don’t read them. For the ones that do, they say keep it very short. And give details only for things like career changes, additional school, or gaps in the resume.

I flunked out of school and had no options when I joined the army. I hated every second of my time in, and spent all my weekends getting as drunk as possible.

Now that I’m out, I graduated with my BA in Econ, got a job I love, and somehow got into an M7 Bschool with a 670 GMAT. I look back on my time in and laugh, and still talk with some of my old army buddies (though not as often anymore)

Amazing how time can change your perspective, because 10 years ago I never thought I’d be here.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
