    • are you catering to each of those applications or just applying with a single pre-made resume?imbecile
    • A have a couple resumes I use depending on the gig, those cover letters though, ughYakuZoku
    • That would be illegal to ask in most countries.mort_
    • try using chatgpt to craft resumes and cover letters using the job postng as inspiraton. essentially "rewrite my job description catering to this job posting"imbecile
    • Did you read the question, imbecile?mort_
    • Avoiding the slog of writing unique cover letters by using gpt is a great idea. You shouldn’t have to even answer the race question.monospaced

    • Pretty sure the issue is I'm applying as a motion graphics or editor role but have been doing web development the last 4 yearsYakuZoku
    • But the original question was about the race inquiriesYakuZoku
    • Mention that you are in the cartel.utopian
    • Odd thing is on indeed applications 40% of the time first they ask if I'm Hispanic or Latino then in the next page it asks for my specific raceYakuZoku
    • Tell them that you are Nonbinary, and your
      pronouns are Hawk Tuah.      utopian
    • LOLYakuZoku
    • Everyone of the jobs I apply to ask about race, veteran status, disability and gender. Many ask for sexual preference.CyBrainX

    • don't use chatgpt to write your cover letter unless you plan on editing all the chatgptness out of itcanoe
    • if you don't have time to write a cover letter they are not going to take you seriously yoyo!canoe
    • Keep in mind, you don't have to answer any of those demographic questions. It's not even legal to ask in an interview. That whole section is labeled Voluntary.CyBrainX
