I know this will sound dumb, but you can ask one of the LLMs you make you one based on similar resumes and applications for the same job you want.

Then, modify it to be your own. Maybe a touch more than changing the name ;)

At least it’s a starting point.

I tend to agree with the nice and kind part of Midwest, with exception that it seems like we’re becoming more hard-line against things people call woke or alternate life styles.

I’m using a universal ‘we’ since, and I think you’re right - there’s a difference between urban city thinking and rural community thinking.

I have a whole theory about the city thinking and rural thinking having to due with ownership or property, but that’s a whole other thing…

Why are you so angry? This isn’t a post or news story condemning your favorite political view, or talking shit about your mom.

Gosh. Call the school.

Have you ever gone through something like a shooting, fire, tornado?

I ask because if the average school has kids in the high hundreds or low thousands, you’re not getting through during an emergency to the couple of office staff to ask if the information is real, etc. You’d have sit sit losing your mind waiting for the schools mass notification system to send you something.

Assuming way more…

It seems you’re suggesting that me or average parents have the self control of a child? Not sure how this contributes.

The point about kids having less self control is valid. There’s clearly a different approach to electronics for an elementary school aged kid and a teenager, plus different concerns with negative affects of social media.

Personally, I went from hating this idea, to loving it after I starting driving in them.

After spending time driving in Carmel, I can’t stand traffic lights anymore. Everything got downgraded in my mind: Traffic lights became stop signs, stop signs became yield, yield became…well still yield (I’m not a sociopath).

Sound places have built terrible versions of roundabouts, so I’m sure those populations aren’t impressed.

I did drive through one that was off an interstate exit and had heavy tractor-trailer traffic, that actually directly connected to a truck stop. To my surprise, it was glorious. It was fairly large, so the trucks had plenty of ability to go around without running over curbs, and it made all the traffic going in and out of the big truck stop / gas station pretty smooth. I was genuinely impressed. I think it was southern Indiana around the 69 project, but I can’t remember.

That’s some spicy 🔥 chicken!

Indeed.

In 1960, the Aral Sea had been the world’s fourth-largest lake with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,000 sq mi) and a volume of 1,100 km3 (260 cu mi). By 1998, it had dropped to 28,687 km2 (11,076 sq mi) and eighth largest. - Wikipedia

Thanks for sharing this.

@jerry thanks for all you do and the FAQ. Enjoyed them.

Lol,.I know.

I already have Google and MS accounts,.so I use those when needed.

Dude that sucks, that would be so annoying.

Well, since no one offered any suggestions on the actual cover letter content. Gotta start somewhere.

@lilypad@hexbear.net

You could also roll through linkedin and see other examples of resumes, but people usually tailor the cover letter to the job they are applying for.

I ask LLMs stuff all the time for a starting point, and then narrow my search so I don’t go off entirely made up crap (if it did).

Here’s some thoughts based on my life experience:

• employers want people who show up. If you have a good work ethic, don’t call in sick for BS reasons, then put in there that you care about being a contributor, you’re reliable, and work in good-faith.

• employers like people with soft skills (communication, teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking). I don’t think this is limited to information or office workers. Express that you can communicate and manage expectations with managers, coworkers, and you are a problem solver instead of a drone who asks a leader for help for every problem (unless that’s what they want of you).

• employers will likely appreciate if you tailor the letter to their business. Look up what they do, what they care about, and what their mission is (also if they have corporate mission statements, value statements, ethics statements, etc). Their mission isn’t just to make money (yes it is), but to be the best maker/doer of their product/industry. Express how you can help them accomplish their mission and add value to the company.

Since you mentioned self-study, watch videos about these things if you want to be bored, but ahead of your peers.

I bet you get interviews by including these things and making sure to you spell check. It’s amazing how many people don’t care enough to check over their application, which is an instant red flag for hiring. Also, there’s shit tons of services that offer resume reviews.

Good luck!
