Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) If the name of an individual manager is available, address your letter to that person, rather than something generic or informal. Search online and ask people who may know to find the right name. If another applicant finds a name and you don't, you're at a disadvantage.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Because the purpose of an application letter is simply to move the conversation forward, toward an interview, keep it short and direct. It is an expansion of your rsum, not a complete replica of it. Three paragraphs is a good length to aim for.
