Default Re: Cover Letter

Lot's of good stuff so far has been mentioned.

What industry are you targeting? I can only speak from my industry.

Things like US Citizen, Secret Cleared, MBA, Medal of Honor, or stuff that immediately attracts attention to you vs. everyone else should be in the cover letter.

Your relevance to the company at hand is good too. Your skills along with something unique about their company catches the eye.

Keep it short. I never held much regard to cover letters, but in my industry the cover is not that big a deal. Other professions or entry jobs it may well be.
