When to use it
Short is one paragraph built for the places where long letters go unread: job board forms, quick-apply flows and replies to a recruiter’s message.
Use it when
The form has a small text box or a character limit.
A recruiter reached out first and asked for a quick note.
You are applying to several similar roles and need a fast, honest draft.
Keep in mind
One paragraph means one result. Pick the proof that matches the first requirement in the post and save the rest for the interview.
