Every couple of weeks I host a Twitter chat using the hashtag #withaPhD. I pick a topic in advance (or have a guest co-host choose one) and come the appointed hour we see who's online and take it from there.
These Twitter chats are fun, engaging, and meaningful for me. I connect with graduate students, professors, and other working professionals with PhDs from around the world. We ask questions, provide answers, suggest and advise; we share insights and resources; we crowd-source information; we commiserate and celebrate. Anyone can join in or read our tweets, and I archive each chat using Storify.

We see a lot of cover letters here at The Muse, from the good to the bad to the really, really ugly. But every once in a while, we see one that makes the entire office come to a complete stop, in a good way.
Today was one of those days.
Recent grad Amy Hill was looking for a way to stand out to companies as a lifestyle writer, so she turned her cover letter into a BuzzFeed article. Yes, actually published it on BuzzFeed, complete with amazing gifs.
