I know you meant well. You did what the experts told you to. I don’t doubt you spent hours and hours refining it (you did, didn’t you?!?). Despite all that, I’m confident your cover letter sucks.
Should You Have a Resume Objective?
Recently, I took two of my close colleagues out for drinks to celebrate hiring seven people in 14 weeks across multiple cities. Without them, there’s no way it would have happened. We created a process and stuck with it even when it didn’t bear fruit initially. Although, that’s a post for a different day.
We were out at a crowded NYC bar and the topic of resumes came up, but more specifically the “resume objective.” How convenient since this was also the topic of my next post.
