Warning signs for sure. I'm with Meryl Streep here, so many Anne Hathaway's offering you a job and you can't personalize a thank you for the opportunity? I'd probably drop what I do and be her personal assistant. Because that would probably be pretty awesome.

    I definitely agree about putting in some effort if it's for something important to you, but that's probably not how people doing stuff like that think.

    They're all about optimizing their output, with a spammer's mindset. Who cares about effort, you can have a robot apply for a million things at once and just wait for whatever sticks. They believe they've cracked the system. And who knows, maybe most recruiters can't tell (yet).

    Yet another case of slop pollution making every aspect of life worse.
