Hey, I was just wondering - how long is your cover letter and what is "too long"?
My cover letter's around 320 words, but takes up the whole page including heading and everything. Do you guys think that's okay?
Thanks in advance!

3 paragraphs, get to the point and get out. Honestly, they dont really want to read these, but in case theres anything eyepopping that you need to get off your chest, its your opportunity to do so.
def not more than a page.
