I wouldn’t. You’re setting yourself to be low-balled in salary negotiations

That sounds like an absolute terrible idea.

If you insist, you could put a pay range... This at least keeps them guessing a little bit.

But this seems like an easy way to get rejected before they really look at your resume.

That's a bad idea. The purpose of a cover letter is to highlight things not in your resume. But including a salary requirement may make things difficult for you. Given how tricky it can be to get an interview, you don't want to appear to be making any demands in a cover letter. Once you're in an interview it makes sense to interject some salary discussion.

Don’t

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?
