FYI: I'm a hiring manager (not recruiter) at a Fortune 500. Recruiters are just scanning quickly and sending me whoever looks halfway decent and gets past the filters like years of experience or salary expectation. Once I get the candidate, I do look at any cover letters attached to the online app. A well written cover letter makes some difference to me. (I'm in marketing.) It can make someone stand out over other candidates who are essentially equal.

How far into radiation were you when the burns began to appear? I’m in my tenth treatment and haven’t seen any skin changes yet.

Ah. I keep hoping to somehow avoid it.

Thanks! Good to know about the ointments. They said not to apply any within 4 hours of treatment but never said why. It’s good to have the explanation - I will be more vigilant. I do the recommended cream three times a day and I’m also drinking gallons of water, as I’ve heard that’s helpful. Side benefit is that with all this water, I seem to have more energy and a bit of a glow, paradoxically enough.
