I was trained in the dark arts of the cover letter by my mother, who is a hiring manager. And her training has paid off: I've been consistently told my cover letters are excellent. Let me pass on the wisdom.

The job of a cover letter is to give a prospective employer strictly more information than is on the resume. This is where you take the resume contents and put them into context. You look at the job requirements (you are looking at the job requirements before applying, right?) and look at your resume and ask the question (in your head) "why would a person think this candidate would be good for this job?" and your cover letter is the answer to that question. If you don't answer that question, the hiring manager is going to have to do it themselves, and you have way more information to work with than they do.

This is especially important if you're moving from one industry to another, because then the relevant connections aren't obvious. It's also very important if you're overqualified, because then you can use the letter to say "I know it looks like this job would be too entry-level for me, but I'm interested to pursue it for reasons x, y, and z". You can also use this space to explain away something that might otherwise be disqualifying, like job-hopping or a long break in employment. The tone to strike here is always matter-of-fact and constrained to topic - don't go into detail about health stuff or personal tragedy, just tell them what they need to hear: that this period of your resume was affected by [bad thing] but that it's now in the past and you're looking forward to the next chapter. Remember, one of the things they're trying to learn is whether you'd be content in this role, or whether you'd be miserable and leave after 2 months, which would force them to do all the work of hiring again. You're trying to establish that you will fit right in and not cause problems. Knowing what drew you to this job in particular (and don't just say 'money', that's true for everyone) helps with that.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".

The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."

As we all know, thanks to the support of the good people of Tumblr, Tylenol has experienced a meteoric rise to second place. Even though her competition is stiff, I believe in Tylenol's ability to go the distance.

But let's take a look at the competition:

Elmer seems to be a lovely boy. I have no qualms with Elmer, and think he would look fantastic on a beer can. But what about Elmer's campaigns? Who is the power behind the throne here, and how have they managed to find such breakout success on this competition?

A handful of wealthy donors are trying to buy this competition.

At the end of the day, all donations are good donations here. This is a charity event so every penny earned is going to help animals in need. But it's not lost on me that Elmer's current ranking is thanks entirely to a few individuals with the financial means to put their thumbs on the scale.

Tylenol's donors, comparatively, are small and numerous, mostly $1-10 donations from many passionate believers in what she stands for (autism and pain relief I think).

Overall, the donations tell a very different story than what the base ranking shows you. Elmer is held aloft by just 24 donors and bolstered by a few wealthy patrons, whereas Tylenol has won the hearts of literally hundreds of people. Even the current third place, Abby, owes her ranking to numerous small contributions rather than one or two large ones.

Hello, animal lovers♡ I'm Aya, a guardian of 6 cats.

Let me share the problem about cats occuring in Japan.

According to Animal Acution Fund (公益財団法人どうぶつ基金), currently, in Japan, the Ministry of the Environment is trying to designate Ieneko (domestic cats and stray cats in the neighborhood) as "alien species to promote control".

Despite the lack of evidence that cats are causing the decline of rare native species, the government is trying to easily kill cats under the pretext of a World Heritage Site (especially in Okinawa and Amami).

The target includes not only stray cats, but also TNR cats and cats that go outside.

Even the cats kept entirely indoors, it become subject to extermination if they escape outside.

To begin with, cats are animals that cannot be designated as "Specified Invasive Alien Species."

Ieneko(domestic cat) is an animal that has lived with people in Japan for 2,000 years.

The Ministry of the Environment itself explains that the measures against alien species are mainly "living things brought in after 1868", so this does not apply to cats.

It is wrong thing animals that have lived with humans for 2000 years as targets for extermination.

Protecting rare native species is important, but the lives of cats are just as precious.

It should be carried out through this humanitarian and scientific method, not by taking lives.

It is wrong to blame specific animals for the ecosystems and nature that humans have destroyed.

There are no borders for cat (&animal) lovers. Please sign and convey your voice against it.

Thank you for your kindness to read this long post.
