Just remember this.... be short and sweet. You are just introducing yourself, NOT summarizing your resume. They have your resume.

My cover letter was one paragraph. Other than the formalities, it said, "I have 3 years of experience working in a podiatrist's office." That's the only thing I put other than the filler I gave you as an example about "ideal candidate" and stuff. And I start tomorrow. So I better go to bed. But I'm addicted to Yahoo Answers!
