Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a cover letter be?
Keep it to one page — typically 3-4 paragraphs. Hiring managers skim cover letters, so be concise and impactful.
Should I write a different cover letter for each job?
Yes. Customize the template for each application, addressing the specific role, company, and how your skills match their requirements.
Is a cover letter still necessary?
While some employers don't require them, a strong cover letter can differentiate you from other candidates. Always include one when the application allows it.
