Anne Hathaway received the same AI-written thank you note from every candidate—and Meryl Streep said what every boss is thinking: “That’s just tragic.”
That you are clearly not doing it for the money. If money was your incentive, you could invest half an hour in a cover letter, that doubles as basic research for a possible interview.
Sure, selling stuff at the super market does not need an cl, but many other position expect you to do ‘basic’ research.
Why would I want to research every random company I’m applying to work for? There is absolutely no job on the planet that I’d actually enjoy doing so why would I pretend for the sake of an interview? I have skills that employers need and employers have salaries that I need. It’s as simply as that.
But is it worth it when you have to shotgun applications in order to get maybe two interviews?
If I have to spend a half an hour writing a unique cover letter for each and every job I can apply for maybe 16 jobs a day. That’s peanuts in today’s job market.
