Why do pain letters work better than cover letters?
Dear Liz,
I wrote my first Pain letter after reading your article about Pain letters last week. Hurrah! I got a call from the hiring manager the next day. I have an interview set up for next week.
Now I am avid to write a bunch more Pain letters, but I am curious. When the hiring manager called me to set up the interview for next week, I had already sent in a standard cover letter with my resume, weeks ago. I never heard anything back. Why did the hiring manager respond to my Pain letter so quickly, after ignoring my earlier application?
Dear Becca,
I don't know the manager of whom you speak, of course, but I have a few ideas. Managers are overwhelmed these days, and so are Human Resources people and recruiters. They are awash in paper and electrons, barraged with resumes and challenged to keep track of the jobs they're trying to fill, much less the individual candidates. It's not a good situation. Corporate America (and startup America, and institutional and not-for-profit America too) is hiring again, but there aren't enough people to manage the hiring process efficiently.
As a result, candidates get lost in the sauce. They send in applications and hear nothing. It's a national crisis, in fact, but companies aren't in a rush to staff up their HR teams and improve their selection pipelines so far. Maybe now that the election is over, they'll give their HR executives some help, but in the meantime, the Black Hole is your worst enemy as a job-seeker, because it eats resumes for lunch.
Pain Letters sent with Human-Voiced Resumes work because they speak to the real pain behind a job ad, the pain that keeps hiring managers up at night. They don't drone on about your talents. Why would an overstressed hiring manager care what you think of yourself? He or she doesn't know you. You have no credibility with him or her. You can't trumpet your fabulousness with any authority, but you can talk about something more important in this equation than your background. You can talk about him or her, the hiring manager.
We start a Pain Letter with the Hook — acknowledgement of something cool, and specific, that the company has done recently – because people like to read about themselves and their accomplishments (and who can blame them)? No one on this planet gets enough acknowledgement, and hiring managers are no exception.
When you show up with a letter that says "Great job winning the Greenest Employer Award from the City of Dallas" you show the hiring manager three important things. One is that you're awake, you're tuned in, and you're paying attention to the business/community ecosystem around you. That's way, way different from the typical cover letter that begins with "Dear Hiring Manager, I was intrigued by your job opening…"
The second thing you demonstrated with your Pain Letter – Human-Voiced Resume combo is that you have already lived part of the movie your hiring manager is living through now. When you talk about business pain and your experience with it, you're showing the hiring manager something incredibly significant. You're showing insight. The last thing your Pain Letter demonstrates is that you have the mojo to step outside the traditional Black Hole hiring process.
You don't need to grovel to get a good job – in fact, the better the job, the less grovelling could help you get it. People who want you to crawl over successively higher piles of broken glass in the job search process don't get you, and therefore they don't deserve you. The world is changing fast. People who run their careers like entrepreneurs are the people who are thriving in the new-millennium workplace. Pain Letters are one vehicle for finding your voice on the job search, and continuing to find your voice and grow your flame throughout your career.
Imagine going to work as yourself, rather than as a suited-up, inauthentic version of yourself? That's what we are after. The Pain Letter is one of the vortices that will help you get there. Now that you're fired up and things are hopping, why not write three more Pain Letters today?

Good reasons to visit funky, free-spirited Guerneville
Even when the Russian River is flowing low, summer is high season for Guerneville, the funky, free-spirited town amid towering redwoods, 75 miles north of San Francisco.
Like the river, its fortunes tend to rise and fall, and rise again. A vacation destination for the Bay Area since the 1870s, the former logging town lost luster in the 1960s as air travel took off and winter floodwaters swept through. The arrival of gay and lesbian visitors and residents in the late '70s and early '80s sparked a renaissance of renovated resorts and new boutiques and restaurants, but not all survived the effects of the later AIDS epidemic.
The late '90s brought more floods, at a time when acceptance—if not downright wooing—of LGBT travelers was becoming more common. The economic downturns and dotcom busts of the last decade also took a toll on Guerneville, according to Beth Snow, a resident for the last 12 years and Sonoma County Tourism marketing manager. Her husband has lived in town since 1987.
"For a while it went through a period as an LGBT destination, when there weren't all these activities for gay people around the state, and its proximity to San Francisco was great," Snow said. "Then as acceptance grew and people started traveling more to other places, that appeal subsided to a certain extent, and then during the economic downturn, a lot of the little boutiques had to pull out. There were a lot of empty windows, and it was a little depressing for more than a year."
But for the last few years, "Stumptown," as Guerneville was originally called, has been sprouting new shoots in and around Main Street, a/k/a River Road.
"A lot of art galleries have popped up in town. It's become kind a little artsy community, very eclectic," Snow noted. "And a lot of people are putting their attention into restaurants. There's so much focus on good food."
Newer arts and entertainment events such as the biweekly Rockin' the River and the monthly First Friday Art Walk add to the energy generated by staples such as the Russian River Jazz & Blues Festival and Lazy Bear Weekend, now in their 38th and 18th years, respectively. Classic attractions such as Armstrong Woods, Johnson's Beach and Pee Wee Golf also continue to attract a diverse crowd, which may be another part of Guerneville's enduring appeal.
"When you see people coming to town, there are a lot of LGBT people, but also families and young, hip people from the San Francisco Bay Area," Snow said. "They want to find somewhere that's just a little bit on the edgy side, and Guerneville still has a little bit of that edginess."
See the photogallery above for details on what's notable and/or new in Guerneville, and share your travel tips in the comments below.

Hewwo! Some of you may remember me as "that vaguely irritating guy" who disappeared suddenly about half a year ago. Long-story-short, I lost my internet connection because I'm poor. I know, the horror.
Anyway, I'm back on sporadic (albeit free!) wi-fi, all set to comment on how much the place has changed, only... it ain't, that much, really. Oh, sure, the text editor still seems to be somewhat frotzed. And they finally implemented some of those neato-burrito cosmetic gee-gaws, one of which I will take full and undeserved credit for.
But by-and-large, things look generally the same as they were back in August. I am at once relieved and disappointed. I hear whispers of a "Kinja 1.2", and shudder a bit and quote the fabled Bowl of Petunias. On the whole, though, things seem to have stayed remarkably stable and static (as Gawkerverse-wide resets go, y'know).
Or am I missing something obvious? I confess it's entirely possible, I've only been back for a few days. Anyone feeling charitable enough to play Inigo and give me the short "I will sum up" speech? I can offer no recompense (again, "poor") besides my gratitude and possibly a figurative laurel and hardy handshake!
Missed you guys, it's good to be back! :)

Ending Hunger Now
"George McGovern, Bob Dole, and Donald Messer contend that awakening people of faith to the great tragedy of world hunger can create the political will to end hunger. After all, feeding the hungry is both a moral obligation and a bedrock requirement in all of the great faiths. Our belief in a loving and caring God demands that we end world hunger." - Dean Hirsch, President of World Vision International from 1996-2009
"This book offers sound judgement, clear solutions, and pragmatic ways to move forward. It is essential reading for all people of faith and indeed for anyone who believes we can and should make the world a better place for all." - James Morris, Executive Director, United Nations World Food Programme
"...an invaluable resource for congregations and individuals striving to be faithful to God's mandate that we can end hunger in our world. People of faith have the power to help shape our government's policies that can literally mean life or death for a hungry person." - David Beckmann, President of Bread for the World and World Food Prize recepient
