I'm going to retire soon (hopefully this year, fingers crossed) from a state job at 60.
Despite what my wife thinks I'm not going to put a lawn chair in the front yard and drink beer all day.
So been poking my toe in the online job search websites.
I filled out the website form and attached a resume (much of which seems redundant). and they ask if I want to add a cover letter (which seems even more redundant).

To get the state job I had to fill out a several forms but no cover letter.

May I presume a cover letter is something you have to do to show them you really want the job?


Sideline: I put in "technician" as a keyword.

Draft beer technician came up... I kid you not, I may have found my calling!

Also sent a resume to SpaceX
