Why do I have to write a cover letter, write a new resume, upload the resume, re-enter everything from my resume because your software failed to read a bullet-pointed PDF, once again fill in I that don't get veteran's preference, only to get shot down for jobs I'm overqualified for, if one read my resume. Just read it. It's 2 pages. Be serious. It already whoops my ass to grind through job boards, carefully seeing if the job I'm applying to won't make me commit seppuku. Just read it. Just. Fucking. Read. It.
Why do I have to write a cover letter if you don't even read the resume? Why am I even giving you my name and number?
Thanks for the feedback random HR person. Your callous indignity is a credit to your profession..
