Google will ask you for references before hiring, but will ignore and never read your cover letter.

I never apply to jobs with a cover letter. I feel like it screens out those who waste their own time, and will inevitably waste mine.

However, I'm starting to realise that's not prudent, and I reckon I should game their system with key words.
