Include two or three extraordinary skills that you believe will
encourage the reader to grant you an interview, such as a special skill
that matches an important point in the job description.

Example..I noticed on this board a post from someone who worked at Adobe
creating help material. This would be a great cover letter issue for a
job that requires FrameMaker documentation skills.

One page. Let the resume present all of the details.

Anything that will not contribute toward, or worse, discourage the
appintment.
