I enjoy the design but I find it very decorative. By which I mean there are a lot of visual elements (clouds, arrows) that serve no real function and distract from the message. It's fine for a resume page but doesn't say much about your ability to design the front-end user experience of a consumer web app, except that it's possible you might spend a lot of time on glitter.

Just my opinion as a fervent minimalist.

I'm imagining your Christmas cards now.

   THERE IS A HOLIDAY SOON.
   I AM ALIVE AND HAPPY.
   I HOPE YOU ARE ALSO.
     ME.

Actually, that would be kind of funny. It would capture one's attention in a way that the typical cute and whimsical holiday card would not. Just as this cover letter gets one's attention in a way that a direct, factual, minimal, utterly banal and archetypal cover letter would not.
