I'm probably unusual, but I have major writer's block and anxiety when writing about myself. I can write clear, detailed communications about nearly anything with little effort, but it takes me 45 minutes to write three paragraphs about myself.
- vinceguidry 11y agoDon't write about yourself then, write about your enthusiasm for the job.
- fancy_pantser 11y agoWell, the beauty is that you only have to do it once. Nobody that receives a cover letter from you is likely to see another one you ever send out, so it's okay if they have some of the same content. I personally keep each cover letter I write in a Google doc. When I have to whip up a new one I just go back and find some useful bits that apply to the position I'm interested in. That gets the ball rolling enough that the last 15% is easy to get through. I only have so many skills I want to highlight in a cover letter, so having 10-15 sentences already laying around to cherry pick from gets me 80% of the way there on new letters.
