00 is it true that a covering letter for a position in the UK should be very short, not longer than a page (A4) and usually only three paragraphs? I read this yesterday on the net and it confuses me because I have seen short as well as long sample cover letter. Apparently this should be the custom only in the UK and not in Ireland. 02 br

0 Yes, usually a letter accompanying a job application is quite short here. We consider that all of your actual information should be in your CV or on the application form, so the cover letter just backs that up a little, makes you sound enthusiastic about the job basically. 0-
