Kindly disagree. People actually read cover letters, and a cryptographically secured entry on a pubic ledger has some conceivable use.
That’s why I created “Poopchain, the only blockchain with millions of unique pictures of poop.
I have my doubts. I've had more than one recruiter tell me "I don't read cover letters", and even if they are "reading" it, it's going to be a brief skim at best.
In any case, that still doesn't mean that you should be writing them. My point is that it's make-work. It's there to weed out candidates and demonstrate your ability to jump through their hoops.
