I'm a hiring manager occasionally and I never got a cover letter and I don't care for it. It'll probably be written by AI anyway. Your interview tells me 80% of what I need to know.
-
but how do we get to the interview.
I have a PhD and the most I get from applying to a job is the email confirming my submission. then ghosted.
-
It took me 600 applications to get my first job. Now I work at $FAANG. Your full-time job, until you get a job, is applying to everything
-
2 things:
- It's a numbers game. Keep applying all the time. Sad reality but nothing we as pleebs can do to change this.
- You probably already do this, but gear your resume to the job description. Provide examples for the qualities the hiring manager is looking for.
Bonus: I've recommended hiring someone with less education over higher education because I knew they would fit better with our team. Worse than someone that doesn't have skills is someone that can't work with my team.
-
Or just do what I did and spam the apply button on Indeed until someone follows up. If an employer requires you to apply on the website, skip and move on. Took a few months but it eventually worked for me.
