- This is shorter than the 250-word floor Common App sets for its personal essay, further down this list: not an essay length at all, closer to a long photo caption or a short status update.
- That is about three times the 25 to 35 words our resume length guide suggests for a resume summary, so cut it hard before it goes on a resume.
- A short voicemail message, or a two-line thank-you note dropped off at a front desk, commonly lands close to this length.
- Add 50 words and you reach 150, the next count on this list, still under a page in any common format.
