Me, I’m a real human. I would not fall to a silly trick like that.
Now excuse me, I’ll just copypaste this cover letter text from the dozens of previous examples I used and edit it slightly based on buzzwords on the job description and company web page.
(Also, last year, I was in one of the events for the unemployed, organised by the municipal job services, and there was literally a short segment on the talk on using ChatGPT for cover letters. Well if the same authorities that mandate us to send a bunch of job applications every month tell us to use it, it can’t be wrong, right?)
A colleague is one of those classic late start stories. He went to school late for a sort of niche field, and worked shitty job after shitty job, while applying everywhere, trying to break into his career.
After he’d gotten his current job, one of the selection committee told him that they picked him because the ‘interests’ section of his resume said he “Likes plants and other green things.”
He did not know that was in there. A few years prior, a friend/former roommate had added it as a joke, and my colleague never looked at that section because his interests didn’t change. He kept getting passed over for interviews until a huge stoner read that and thought it was hilarious, so they called him in for an interview, to see what kind of goof they were dealing with.
He was pretty pissed at his friend, but without knowing how many places passed over him for that reason, he can’t define how pissed he should be. Plus he (mostly) really likes the job he got.
Now excuse me, I’ll just copypaste this cover letter text from the dozens of previous examples I used and edit it slightly based on buzzwords on the job description and company web page.
Well at least you check the result, unlike whoever was running these bots
