like, if you're going to make me write about your company, please give me something to work off of. "This opportunity will let you develop and hone your skills" means absolutely fuck all to me.

    I wrote a lot of cover letters in my job hunt, they're very frustrating. Without having one in front of me to review, I think one core component is giving examples of your previous work experience and explaining how it will help you perform this new job.

    And another core component is explaining why you want THIS job and not just A job; the employer wants to feel like you'll invest yourself into it

      The reason why I want THIS job is practically identical to the other jobs though, they're all the same position.
