[Job-Discussions] tips for writing a cover letter

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello,
I run a monthly session with the American Council of the Blind where
cover letters and all things job related are covered. I've never heard
of 300-500 words. In my experience, the shorter and more to the point,
the better. Clarity is the main thing. If you have to explain wwhat
you've written or if you think it can be interpreted more than one
way, rewrite that part.

The above link will help you too. Good luck.
Very best wishes,
Sandra.
