A cover letter can be a challenging part of a job application. Some individuals take an unconventional approach, writing cover letters that reflect their personality in an attempt to stand out to hiring managers.
One job seeker highlighted the cost of their education, quoting the phrase 'if you think education is expensive, try ignorance' to emphasize their investment.
Another applicant demonstrated courage, or desperation, by applying for a position after an employee's death, seeing it as an opportunity.
Some individuals struggle to craft a cover letter and instead opt for listing reasons why they should be hired. One example includes coming up with 10 reasons.
Others take a confident approach, bragging about their achievements to convince the employer of their value.
In extreme cases, applicants have resorted to threats, including one who threatened harm if not hired.
These examples raise questions about the effectiveness of such approaches and how hiring managers might respond to them.
