Kolek planning to go pro
+1000. Or people who can't be bothered to get a name right in an email. I'm in recruiting and the lack of professionalism of some people will never cease to amaze me.
My last name was once spelled three different ways by an applicant on a cover letter (2) and the envelope (1), all three incorrect. That person did not get a callback. I've had the wrong company used too.

People writing/typing 'pls' and/or 'thx' to others.If you're really thankful, can't you effin write out "thank you" or "thanks"? You have to shorthand it? ps - thx 4 reading my post guys
Honest question... is this even being taught anymore? Also, more and more I'm seeing hyphens in place of a semi-colon in business emails (when they are bothering to punctuate). Are there separate rules for business emails or do the follow the written letter conventions?
People who submit generic cover letters when they are applying for a job.
If you really mean “no homo”, can’t you write it out instead of constantly abbreviating it to “nh”?
My man ZFB didn't have to bother with a cover letter for his latest gig. The restaurant had a 'hiring event' where you just showed up between noon and 4pm and they interviewed you right on the spot. Dude got a 20 hours a week job plus a free taco right there on the spot, no cover letter required.No way - it's too long nh
Semi-colons are pretty much dead. I couldn't even tell you the last time I've used one.
I don’t get how the Fiserv has the worst metal detectors when it comes to boots.This is Milwaukee in the winter. A lot people have steel/aluminum toe boots, they should have figured out a better way instead of seeing a bunch of guys taking their boots off to get in the place.I have no use for any boot or winter shoe without a safety toe, and I’m certainly not getting boots just to walk into the Fiserv.No problems getting into Wrigley, Miller, Lambeau, United Center, HOB, and other concert venues with steel toes.
Hey look, a candidate who refers to himself in the third person throughout his cover letter. That's interesting!
Better or worse than generic?
The entirety of the cover letter:"Greetings, I would love to hear more about the open position. I think I would be a fantastic fit based upon the job description. Thank you for your time and interest!"
Who needs boots on a night like tonight? I was wearing canvas sneakers and I was fine.
Tonight, yes. Quickly coming to an end.
