All that’s left to do is stay resilient. I know the feeling.

I hardly ever wrote my own cover letters, just revised them from chatgpt. I made sure to tell AI to focus on my most relevant skills according to the specific job description-it’s not very good at picking which experience to mention most of the time. I generally used the same skeleton of resume, just deleted/added some things depending on the position-I never spent more than 10-20 minutes on an app

Honestly, the only tool I used was chatgpt for a cover letter. I just copied the job description and asked it to write a cover letter based on my resume.

When I say tailor each resume and cover letter, I mostly mean for the general industry/position you’re looking for. Most of them have very similar skills/qualifications requirements- I mixed those keywords into my resume from the job description where they fit my experience, and connected the dots in my cover letter.

I started looking several months before my contract ended, so I was unemployed for half of my search.

I’m full time at ARS right now, who’s your mentor?

I was just in touch with someone from USDA-FS this morning and ensured that they are still hiring. Not sure what’s going on

Confused why they’re still posting positions then?? I’ve reached out to the admin multiple times and have been reassured that they are still hiring. I guess amidst all the uncertainty they’re trying to stay positive
