Hey guys,

When it says to add your cover letter do you also include the mailing address of the firm above "Dear [Graduate Recruiters Name],"??

Thanks :)

Unless explicitly asked to do this, then no. Waste of word count, to add the firms’ and yours.
If you’re asked to upload a word doc as a cover letter, then yes you should. One of the things that may be assessed is if you can format a letter, so it’s better to play it safe.
