What is the difference between a cover letter and a job application letter?

They overlap heavily. A cover letter accompanies your resume for a specific role; a job application letter can be a standalone letter expressing interest. Both should name the role, tie your experience to the requirements, and request an interview.

How long should a cover letter be?

One page — typically three short paragraphs. Lead with the role and a specific hook, connect one or two concrete results to what the employer needs, and close by requesting an interview.
