You need one paragraph, not a whole page

The form wants a short note, not a full cover letter, and you keep over-writing it. Give the role and company. You get one paragraph under eighty words: a specific reason you want to work there and one concrete relevant thing you've done. No opener about applying, no sign-off platitudes, just the paragraph that earns its place.

Write a single compelling paragraph, no more than 80 words, to accompany my application for {ROLE} at {COMPANY}. Include one specific reason I want to work there and one concrete thing I have done that is directly relevant. No opener about applying. No sign-off platitudes. Just the paragraph.
