i'm in that contemptible state where i have to harass someone who doesn't want to hear from me, and i have nothing to say. The only possible advice is "just say anything" (lmao) or "opportunity is infinite. don't expend effort; just wait for it to be delivered to you." (equally: lmao).
i have consulted the homies for help on how to craft the perfect txt to send to shawty.

> just say hi. or, just say poop.

...as expected, thank you for your contribution.
so what i went with:
> Hi [potential employer], just checking in. How's the process, how's work?

pathetic. cringe.

i few seconds later, got an automatic response with a very long signature, but no body.

this ill omen portends doom.

If you're #jobHunting, you need to understand the purpose of a resumé vs. a cover letter.
To the extent that automated applicant filtering is happening, it's through the resumé, not the cover letter.
The purpose of a cover letter is to MAKE YOU STAND OUT. Submitting one you've generated by asking ChatGPT to regurgitate the job description in the form of a letter does the opposite of that.
Hiring managers can tell when you do it. So don't do it.

The Curiosity Tour

Most of us do the job hunt wrong. We look for posted job openings on LinkedIn, we apply to anything that catches our eye, and we hope we pass the AI filter to at least get a call back. We pull the arm of the career slot machine every time we refresh the feed. We hope our next job magically appears before our eyes.

But reacting to jobs that are already posted rarely reveals the most exciting career opportunities. And, just like with building a venture, timing matters. If you are reacting to a job that is already posted, most likely you’re too late to the game.

The Curiosity Tour

A wonderful framework to build meaningful relationships in areas of your interest that might also be fruitful in your professional venture.

I wrote a rejection letter (email) yesterday for the first time in my career. It wasn't that the offer was bad, and the company had a lot going for it. It was one thing that kept me from going further. So let's discuss.

I am tired of being broke by the end of the month, so please help me find a job.

I am looking for a Entry Level Remote Data Entry job.. I have never really done any data entry in my life, but as I live in the suburbs in New Jersey in the United States, and do NOT drive… most other jobs are pretty much off limits to me. I have experience using Excel (and Excel like programs), word processors, and computers. If you are looking for someone to do some data entry work I am willing to send you my resume. Just direct message me, and I will email you my resume.

Really getting tired of running low on funds by the end of each month, because I am reliant on both social security income and food stamps. I would love a remote data entry job... so I don't have to go through this again next month. DM me if you are hiring for a remote data entry job! #GetFediHired #GetHired #JobHunting

Look, I don't claim to be a genius, but it seems to me that if you're #jobHunting, you probably shouldn't put a link to your gitlab profile at the top of your resumé if the only two public repositories in it are forks of two different versions of an open source "AI Assistant" which brags about being stealthy and impossible to detect and supports full screen capture and audio input and seems to be purpose-built for things like oh, I don't know, cheating on job interviews.

It is time to come off the Pro Leisure Circuit - I am looking for an InfoSec and/or Privacy leadership role at a series B or later technology focused B2B company with an inclusive culture where they want to make their Information Security and Privacy programs a competitive and strategic differentiator.

Proven in SaaS, telemedicine, fintech, and cloud-native companies undergoing rapid scale, regulatory scrutiny, or organizational change.

Known for my people-first approach for transforming fragmented programs into cohesive, high-performance security organizations. Experienced in building and maturing GRC, incident response, security operations, data protection, and trust functions. Adept at partnering with boards, C-suite, legal, product, and engineering to reduce enterprise risk while enabling growth and innovation. The executive track leader with demonstrated ability to lead teams, manage budgets, drive organizational alignment, and guide security strategy.

Hi fedi folx. I was laid off just before the start of the year. This is a reach out for support, not in the monetary way but in an information and connections way.

I'm wanting to use this as an opportunity to work for organizations who's values I can support. I am looking for a remote role, working with a nonprofit.

I'm a chronically ill trans person in the US. A sys admin with 5 years experience, mostly in the windows ecosystem with some moderate Linux experience. I have done some containerization and virtualization. I love to improve systems, processes and security.

Continuing my series of #jobHunting tips based on firsthand experience hiring in the current environment…
Even if you don't customize anything else in your cover letter (which is a bad idea, but whatever), at least get the company and title of the position you're applying to right.
If you can't be bothered to customize your cover letter even to the extent of mentioning the correct company and position title, I can't be bothered to consider your application any further.
