    If the rest of the CV was ok, I would fill that cover letter as a positive in culture fit.

    But then again, I always say that being lazy is my greatest strength when they ask me in the interview.

      If you mean that you make sure to get it right the first time to avoid unnecessary extra work down the line, I can actually see that working 😁

        I use it as my own personal “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”, and follow up by explaining I’m strongly motivated to find the simplest and most reliable solution for any task.

            The worst is the exactly wrong amount of smart. Dumb people usually have a limit to the damage they can do.

            Hard-working and dumb isn’t great, either.

            Oh, you did it the most difficult and least efficient way? Congratulations, you’re a “hard worker”.
