Frequently Asked Questions
What's a "weak phrase"?
Hedging that signals lack of confidence: "I think", "perhaps", "I believe", "hopefully", "I would like to". Compare to direct: "I will", "I built", "I led". Recruiter brain registers difference subconsciously.
Should every cover letter be confident?
Yes — within reason. Even applying for a stretch role: "I'm excited to bring my expertise in X to this Y opportunity." NOT "I hope I might be considered for...".
How long should a cover letter be?
300-400 words. Shorter = doesn't cover enough. Longer = unread. 4 paragraphs: hook, why-you, why-them, close+call-to-action.
