letters. And it’s seriously crazy: some of those are only 1
sentence long, meanwhile, others get over 1,000 words.
Keep in mind: going over 700 words makes no sense, you
would only fill your cover letter with superfluous info.
Furthermore, which HR manager would want to read a lengthy
novella, trying to figure out if he really wants to see
the applicant’s resume after this?
If you are unsure how to shorten your application pay
attention to things to leave off a resume. The optimal length
would be no more than 3 or 4 paragraphs of proper
information. Save the part about your broad life history
for the interview.
