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

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

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!

Lol,.I know.

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

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.

Ha, thanks. Now I don’t feel as dumb for chucking the bread.

LOL, that’s awesome. Almost an entire days worth of calories. Sounds delicious. You printing the calories on the menu?

This is the Parks and Rec Ponch burger this reminds me of. “Put it in your body or you’re a nerd!”

There’s a place called Bub’s burgers where they do a 1lbs burger challenge. They’re actually pretty good too. Not sure about how it compares nationally.

but no side

You included all the sides on the burger!

What’s the calorie count on that!?

As I’m asking this nonsense question, I’m thinking of the punch burger commercial from the parks and rec show where they say who cares, put it in your body!
