As someone looking for a job, I fucking hate this. It is so annoying to hear HR people commenting that you should make sure to put a lot of effort into the jobs you are applying to and write a new cover letter tailored to each job. Bullshit. Maybe if you were not getting 300-500 applicants for your posting for a mid level position, I might consider it. There is zero possibility they are looking at more than a dozen out of the 100 that are qualified.
This is, of course, industry dependent. My wife was able to land a fairly decent job in her industry despite not meeting every qualification because there are simply not a lot of people in it. I’m in tech in Seattle where I have to contend with HR getting flooded with applicants which means they start looking for unicorns that somehow have experience in the combination of the dozen systems the job uses along with a decade of experience in them. I also have to contend with job postings getting canceled after applying, once while I was on the phone with the fucking recruiter.
My advice if you are in the tech industry is to work with recruiters. Eventually you will find one who is not shitty at their jobs.
Are you in the Seattle area? Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Salesforce have all done pretty large layoffs in the area over the last year and a half. That has led to a ton more IT professionals in the area than there are openings so each opening has 100 applications at a minimum.
My previous job, I put in my resume for and while I did not get that position, they created one that also worked for me. My job before that, I had applied to a few jobs and the one I got I did not have all of the requirements but it was a fairly niche product so they did not expect to find anyone that checked all the boxes.
Currently basically just looking for a job that pays more than a nanny (>$35/hr which is significantly less than those two previous jobs). So if you have any suggestions in the Seattle area, I’m all ears.
I’m currently waiting to hear back on one that is being held up by HR unfortunately. I think they are essentially holding it open for a more diverse candidate which is understandable (the team is a bunch of white dudes) but kind of sucks.
Another one that annoyed me was a job I got rejected by that I saw get reposted. I actually emailed their HR along for some feedback and was surprised to get a response. They said the team was looking for someone with more enterprise level NOC experience. Guess what was not even mentioned in the job description?
One good thing that has happened in recent years though is that several states (including Washington lrequire postings to include the pay range so at the very least I can avoid an interview that would waste everyone’s time.
If you’re lucky. I think I still have a couple applications in an open status from 2015 that I never officially got rejected from. Still crossing my fingers on those ones. 🤞

Mine ends in July. There are definitely some decent shows on Prime but I’m not going to spend an extra 25% to get the same shit and I’m not going to watch their ads. Products on Amazon are near worthless so there is not much value there.

Swimming in lakes was not something I ever would have done when I lived in Louisiana as a kid. Pools are fairly common but gators make lakes pretty unattractive to swim in.
You worry about those too. I definitely recall when my mom thought my brothers were playing a prank on her and had put a fake snake in the house. Nope. It was a real water moccasin (cottonmouth). I did not go in bodies of water I could not see at least a few feet down in which meant I only went in pools.
Handled poorly. Nipped at or actually bit? Did that happen often? Did your uncle not train the dog? Was there nobody who could take the dog? Was there no vet who could ensure the dog was put down humanely?
Noem’s dog did not bite anyone. She said it tried to bite her a couple times but made no mention that it bit anyone. Same with the billy goat. She said it chased some kids but never mentioned it biting anyone. That one is even worse because it took her two shots to kill it. In reality, she shared the stories to try to seem rough and hardened. I grew up with lots of ranchers and farmers. None of them would do that shit. I have seen a lot of idiots claim that animals on farms are tools and once they are no longer useful, they are gone. I can’t say I have ever come across a rancher or farmer who actually takes that stance especially with a dog.
And she knew it was an aggressive dog because the people who gave it to her told her so. She is claiming that she put the dog down for the safety of her children but apparently that was not a concern when she knowingly got an aggressive dog.

A man with no backbone. His answer is clearly no but he does not want the repercussions of saying it. I’m certain he doesn’t actually doubt the validity of the results either. He just knows his voters are gullible idiots.
