I know some people have mentioned that they have hiring duties at their jobs. What are your thoughts on including excerpts from a performance review in a cover letter? I read on a blog (askamanager.org) that it was a good idea, but it seems kind of forced and possibly cheesy. That being said, my last performance review was badass so it might be good to include a sentence or two.
I haven't been around for a while (long time lurker, occasional poster), but I really value people's opinions on here. Thanks in advance!
Edit: I'm also just generally interested in what people think. You don't have to be a hiring manager

Re: Any hiring managers out there?
If you get to an interview I think it would be better to just offer to provide past reviews and references if they want them.
Yes.
I've gotten a LOT of compliments on my thank you letters b/c I do more than just say "thanks for the interview." I use it as one last way to set myself apart from other candidates. The trick is doing it in no more than 5-7 sentences since no one has time to read any longer.
Message me if if you want some examples.
