Here's an actual reply:
Good morning Kostas!
I saw something this morning that showed Chalkidiki, I wish I could remember where I saw it - the water was so clear and blue it looks blissful!
Thank you for taking the time to write to us, we are currently not hiring. But as a start up this could change in an instance. I will put your email into our database and should a match with your skill set arise we will reach out to you. I do want to let you know however, I am sorry to say, at the moment COMPANY_NAME lacks the legal resources to sponsor visas other than TN-1visas for Canadian and Mexican citizens.
Warmly,
Emily
- CydeWeys 9y ago99/100 people won't have been there or seen something about it recently, and so they won't connect over it. That section came off as cringey to me -- it screamed "poor culture fit with overly chummy foreigner who doesn't understand what job-hunting communications in the US look like" (no offense). You don't start off a job hunt by bragging up the beauty of your native land. It's just weird and irrelevant. What works to get my attention in the first paragraph of a cover letter would be any of the following: 1. Past employment at a well-known high quality employer (e.g. the Big 4). 2. Substantial contributions to important open source projects, ideally ones that I've heard about. 3. A history of high performance at previous employers, e.g. you've been promoted to tech lead and/or brought on at senior level. I don't care about your beaches.
