FAQ
What is the difference between a motivation letter and a cover letter?
A motivation letter focuses more on why you want the role and why this company fits your goals, while a cover letter usually emphasizes role-specific execution and measurable outcomes.
How long should a motivation letter be?
Keep it concise: around 150-250 words. Recruiters prefer focused letters with concrete evidence over long generic text.
Can I reuse one motivation letter for every job?
No. Reusing the same letter reduces interview conversion. Reframe your evidence and company-specific angle for each vacancy.
