Stop putting cover letters on your resume. Recruiters spend 7 seconds or less on 1 resume. A cover page essentially is a skip button because we don’t see any pertinent information and move on.

Resumes should be 1 page with a layout that attracts attention but isn’t distracting. Sentences should be structured like bullet points, short, sweet, and to the point.

This is 100% true. But you should also include a cover letter, just as a second document. I mean obviously not if you're applying for McDonald's but you get the idea

Yo Burger Boss,

I really need a job like ASAP because my mom says I gotta move out of her basement and stop playing video games all day LOL. I've eaten at McDonald's like a million times (mostly at 3 AM) so I basically already know everything about working there - I mean, how hard can flipping burgers be??? My friend Dave said you guys get free food which is literally the main reason I'm applying, plus I saw on TikTok that sometimes employees mess up orders on purpose and get to keep the food (so cool). I'm pretty bad at waking up early and I definitely can't work weekends because that's when my Fortnite team practices, but I promise I'll try to show up most of the time when I'm scheduled.

Peace out,
Zuthan

P.S. Can you make sure to put me on drive-thru so I can practice my funny voices?
