Quick question about a job application…..

DS is applying for an internship , and the application is asking for a 15000 word “about you” section. That can’t be right, surely? Apart from anything else, nobody has time to read that even if they only read the shortlisted ones….

Seems like a lot. Maybe it means up to 15000 words. Either way, in that situation, I'd write as much about myself as was relevant and try and keep it concise.

Double check - 15,000? Are you certain it isn't 1,500?

15000 characters maybe?

That’s what I thought. But he’s asked his flatmate to check……..
