TIL a hiring manager at a Denver coffee shop said she reads cover letters before resumes
I overheard her talking to a friend last week about how she spends 40 seconds on the letter first, and if it sounds like a real person she actually opens the resume. She said 9 out of 10 letters start with "I am writing to apply for" and those go straight in the no pile. I've been rewriting mine ever since to just talk like myself. Has anyone else heard something like this from a recruiter, or is she just one odd manager?
