Vent: I used to write cover letters like a robot and got zero calls back

For years I'd just list my skills and duties. After my friend in HR said they all sounded the same, I started opening with a quick story about a specific project, like the time I saved our team $15k on a vendor contract. Do you actually read the cover letters you get?

My buddy in hiring showed me a stack from last week, all opening with "I am a motivated team player." I swear they used the same template. The one that stood out talked about fixing a specific broken reporting system, saved 20 hours a month. That's the person you call.
