found a decent list of five different ways to start your application w/o sounding like a robot . it covers some good hooks to grab recruiters but also lists the specific phrases you should never use again . it rly helps if you're struggling w/ first impressions during the job hunt. does anyone else find the opening sentence the hardest part to write?

the opening sentence is def the worst part because youre trying to balance being professional w/o sounding like a template . i used to start every single one with "i am writing to express my interest in." and it felt so soul-crushing. now i try to lead with a specific achievement or a recent company milestone i noticed. it feels way more human and shows you actually did your research. does the list mention anything about using a personalized anecdote, or is it mostly just about avoiding those dead phrases?
