To whom it may concern. Dear sir or madam. Dear hiring manager. These common opening lines to cover letters all have one thing in common. They’re terrible. They sound like they were written by a poorly trained AI. I’ve hired for dozens of roles throughout my career and the most common problem I’ve seen with candidates has nothing to do with their resume. Their cover letters use outdated and incorrect advice.| Blog on Nick Lafferty | Growth Marketing Expert
Hi friends, followers, and other people interested in my words. It’s been a while! Many of you will have found my work when I was writing and publishing new content every day in February. In March I wrote quite a bit less because as it turns out, publishing for 29 days straight is hard work. And with March came COVID-19, aka the Coronavirus.

Introverts can seem shy, standoffish, or rude in social situations. In my experience, and trust me, I have a lot of experience here, that’s not often the case. Maybe it’s because I was homeschooled, but I straight up do not know how to behave like a normal human in large groups. I want to have meaningful conversations.
