Oh, and also, all the information in your CV that you also painstakingly rewrote into our forms, is going to be spread around to other companies who will use it to send you spam and phishing messages.
Good luck with your future endeavours of staying sane with others trying to get money out of you, that you donât have.

At my old company I offered to help with the hiring. I said we should make job postings and just see if a great candidate applies.
My CEO told me âoh, we already have some postings. Let me give you the credentialsâ.
I log in to (BreezyHR). Thereâs over 2,000 applicants in the last 6 months. Tailored resumes, cover letters, everything. All the effort people put in to applying. Never even read. Nobody in the company even logged in to the platform where they would be read. Reading the cover letters from people saying it would be such a great fit was kind of sad.

Iâve stopped tailoring resumes and doing cover letters. As someone who has been on the hiring end, they make maybe a small difference but the amount of time spent isnât worth the potential upside.
Keep in mind that the people doing the hiring donât want to be reading resumes either. Thatâs why networking is still the best way to land a new job.

If I were applying I might do a cover letter for like my top 2-3 picks just to try and tip the scales.
I do the hiring for my department and most cover letters are AI/template garbage but sometimes Iâll get a short and sweet one that seems genuine and it gives a legitimate edge.

But somehow theyâll still expect you to have tailored resumes and cover letters. This is the one positive thing thatâs come out of âAiâ writing: Spend 2 seconds generating some tailored business jargon they love so much, which is still 2 seconds more than any effort theyâd bother with on their end.
