Mike Chen on Mythryl: “Of course, I've seen other recruiters and hiring managers saying…”

Hard agree. For our small engineering team, our application asked only for resumes (no cover letters), but if someone took the time to write a thoughtful email alongside their resume, I read every word. It really set them apart if they did even a halfway decent job with it.

Ive been involved in hiring at several of the companies I’ve worked at. At one company, I saw all of the direct applications, I was the first person to review them. The quality was *terrible*. Most people put zero effort into their application. A tiny bit of effort can go a long way. 🧵
