FAQ

How long should a cover letter be?

Three to four short paragraphs, under one page, about 250-400 words.

Do I still need a cover letter?

Many employers still read them, and a short tailored letter can set you apart. Use the Short template when you apply by email.

Who do I address it to?

Use the hiring manager's name if you can find it; otherwise 'Dear Hiring Manager'.
