[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 220446, member: 36777"] Unless the firm provides more specific information about this on their website, you can generally assume the following will hold true for cover letters: [LIST] [*]The font size should be 11 or 12; [*]Times New Roman is generally the best option, but other "classic" fonts should also be acceptable; [*]You should write 1-2 pages, and preferably either a full one page or a a full/close to two full pages. You should only write more than one page if you (I) think the extra length is justified by substantial value-add of the additional content you can include and (II) you will still be observing the strict norms of conciseness that generally apply to application writing through the cover letter.
