Cover Letters (NSFW)

Meh, the decision is made before the door closes behind the candidate.

Follow up letters are nice, but don’t change the direction of anything.
I have only had two real jobs in my life but I received offers before leaving the interview both times. Entry level job I accepted on the spot With a handshake. Mid level job there was a little negotiation after receiving the offer letter but it was all wrapped up the same day. I had a one paragraph “cover letter” at the top of my two page resume each time.

in a couple years I will probably get a new job that will be a reach experience wise, so I may put together a cover letter and follow up for that one.

I have never considered a cover letter or follow up for anybody I have hired.
