Your cover letter should be no more than one page in length. It should explain who you are and why you’re the best candidate. It needs to be concise and keep the hiring manager wanting to learn more. If you go any longer than a page, the person reading it will get bored. Your resume should also be limited to one page, especially if you’ve been in the workforce for a short amount of time. Hiring managers spend only 6 seconds looking through your resume, so it’s essential to keep it to one page filled with solid keywords to stand out.
