    if someone prominent suggests that you apply for a job where their opinion may influence the employer's decision to hire you, do you refer to that prominent person in your cover letter.

    like, at the advice of So-and-so...etc, etc.

    If this prominent person has all this influence the cover letter should not matter. Ship the resume and be done with it.

    Don't include it, it's too overt. That would be a turnoff for me as a hiring manager. Hopefully this prominent person will drop a good word in for you directly, or at least allow you to list them as a reference. If you were to add it in the cover letter, now I'm starting to feel like its being forced on me or that you feel like you are banking on this persons endorsement to get you a job.
