It is always great to see Creative Cover Letters, but the results may vary. Either you will stand our from all the other candidates or the HR department (assuming it has people that do not “appreciate” creativity) will dismiss it.

Personally I like to read creative cover letters, but I really want to see a professional structure.

Combining successfully these two things (Professionalism and Creativity) will definitely attract they eye, and create a great impression to the HR department, but this can be tricky!

You can start reading on Cover Letters Guidlines first, and then add some of your creativity later.

Learn the Basics first and then start adding your personality on it!

This is great! Your example of “eating the company dog food” is a perfect example. One of the largest changes I’ve been seeing is with technology such as social media to help land a job. I liked how you addressed that here as well.

I agree more with Joseph. His comment explains what is important, namely the passion and drive for the company and mission. In my opinion we are having the wrong discussion here. The discussion should be how companies identify these people that have a real drive for the company and its purpose. The entire application process should change.

My definition of creative may be a little less…well…creative. The cover letter approach that most often works in my experience is one where the job seeker does enough industry and employer-related research and is so dedicated to his or her field that they can write an insightful opinion about the state of their industry and the specific direction and needs of the company to which they’re applying. Such a cover letter is employer-focused by nature and will make it impossible to refute your knowledge and passion for what you do. Who wouldn’t want to work with you? Joseph Terach, ResumeDeli.com
