Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the OpenAI Research Residency program as a Research Resident. As a software engineer with experience in building scalable systems in the fintech, health, and adult entertainment industries, I believe I have the skills and expertise required to excel in this role. I am particularly drawn to the opportunity to work on real, cutting-edge AI problems and advance the research agenda of the team.

I have a strong math background and proficiency in programming languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React AI, and C++. I have also published research in the STEM field, created large software systems, and authored highly cited publications. Moreover, I am a self-starter who is motivated to discover AI breakthroughs and their potential benefits to humanity. I am excited to immerse myself in the fundamentals of machine learning and work closely with a team of machine learning researchers to build AI systems that can perform previously impossible tasks.

I am available and interested in joining OpenAI full-time after completing the Residency, and I am willing to relocate to San Francisco if required. I believe I can contribute to OpenAI's mission and help shape the future of technology. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further.

Sincerely, Angelina Lee

Bullshit like this is why hiring processes are so insane now.

I am really hoping LLMs will remove much of the cruft from our daily communication.

If cover letters are not a human effort any more they can be left out.

Recently I was involved in supporting my manager in hiring for a new Developer position and we barely even skimmed the letters. They are already basically useless

A better thing to do is take the job description and a detailed resume, and rewrite the resume to fit the job description. Cover letters might be needed in certain jobs like academia, but they have fallen out of fashion in the online application world.
