Writing a cover letter? 📝 Switch 'To Whom it May Concern' for one of these: ➡️ Dear [person's name] ➡️ To the hiring manager ➡️ Dear Sir or Madam ➡️ To the [department name] "To Whom it May Concern" is OK if you don't know who'll be reading your email. But for a cover letter, it's best to address who you're trying to impress. 🤩 More on the topic here: https://www.seek.co.nz/career-advice/article/when-and-how-to-use-to-whom-it-may-concern What's your go-to salutation, friends?

Question about white-fonting (where you put keywords in your resume in small white font to trick AI) - does it work? Does anyone have any experience doing this? I'm not getting any responses to any of my job apps and wondering if I'm just not getting past the AI programs.

"Your resume shouldn't be a history book. Make it a highlight reel!" Hot take: Most resumes are painfully boring. Stop writing: "Responsible for managing social media accounts." Start writing: "Grew engagement 34% by spotting audience trends others missed." One is a job description. The other shows how your brain works. Hiring managers don't want people who can follow instructions. They want people who can solve problems they haven't even identified yet.

I’m really confused about the use of AI to write resumes and cover letters. On the one hand, I’m hearing it’s a bad look to prospective employers, and seems like you’ve made minimal effort. But on the other, we’re being told that we need to adopt and embrace the use of AI in our every day. Thoughts?

Sometimes we feel the need to include all of our experiences on a resume, but I recently learned from a career expert that it's more effective to highlight only the most important and relevant experiences related to the position you're applying for. Be sure to include your job descriptions and measurable achievements for each role, along with the years of experience. Trust me—it works!
