I am going through the same thing. I hate the cover letter!!!!

It's really just a formality to see how well you can kiss their ass. If they read the resume they can tell if you are qualified by the end of the summary of qualifications.

And another thing:
The other day I signed an application that said they were allowed to contact a reporting agency to get information, outside of 5 other things they listed, about my "good character".

Is there a reporting agency for this? An agency that confirms the state of your character? wtf?

I can see it now: everything came back clean and according to all this research and the recommendations, she is perfect for the job....but the team over at character research inc. says she is a bad person- so it is a no-go.
