Hey all! I told a friend this and it seems to be on the fence. My cover letter is phenomenal. Not to brag, but it is. It’s an internal job posting for a department that’s just a step above what I’m already doing. I’m great at my job and have been there for years. The only issue is: I submitted the same cover letter (different dates, addressed to someone else, and what not) mid 2022. The only reason I didn’t move up last go around was hours did not mix with my family life.
My friend is shocked that I’m not writing a whole new letter from scratch. Why should I? It’s internal and for the same general area. Swap around and switch out a few words and off it goes as far as I’m concerned. Why get more of my outside of work time when I’ve done it already.
There was writing examples and all that but those were fresh as it was new prompts. My rebuttal to my friend was: “There are only so many ways to say I’m good at blank and would be an asset due to XYZ experience”.
Thoughts?
