I swear, cover letters have to be the most contradictory impossible to write pieces of BS I've ever encountered, and I went to a Liberal Arts college.

Yes. Yes they are.

But on the other hand, write about three or four of them and by then you have enough generic "this is why I'm good and this is why your place of employment is interesting and why you should hire me" claptrap to copy and paste into any number of cover letters!

When you're five you're taught that honesty is the best policy in goddamn everything.

When you're an adult, you laugh at the concept with the kind of amusement usually only reserved for howler monkeys.
