Your cover letter shouldn't be longer than one page. It should highlight your most relevant qualifications for the job and what you have to offer the employer. In fact, as far as how long your cover letter should be, shorter is better.
Patrick's Bottom Line: A well-written cover letter can still be a difference maker if you are creative enough to find a way around (or supplement) a company's online recruiting process. Keep it brief. Make it compelling. A great cover letter won't land you a job, but it will help get you an interview.
