So I am applying for a new position with a company and have developed a killer resume.. Unfortunately now I have writers block and need some advice in producing a cover letter, so I thought who better to ask than maggots. So does anyone have any suggestions? Stuff that worked for you, didn't work. I really want to make a good impression.

Sell yourself through your past experiences and how, indirectly, you will benefit this company. What company?
There's a world out there full of color, dreams, and imagination. What are you waiting for?

Show that you researched the company, that you'd be a good fit, and most importantly, how you can be an asset to them... what's your value added? Also, try not to just rephrase your resume. The cover letter should go beyond that.
