What do people think about a 1092 word motivational statement?
It is 5,999 characters long including spaces. The application packet from my recruiter says a max of 6000 including spaces. Looks like I just made it.
I really do not feel like I'm rambling or not concise. I don't mean this in an arrogant way but I'm a good writer and not really worried about the content. I'm within the length requirements given to me. I don't think it sucks, I started one that was bad last week and then totally rebuilt it. I'm now happy with it. I just end up saying alot about past experiences with military officers in general, what I learned from them, how I applied that knowledge to my civilian jobs and why I believe my past experiences make me a good candidate.
I did want to solicit opinions on whether people think this is outlandishly long. Anybody else have similarly long statements? I'm just worried about being the one idiot with a book if there is no real precident for this and the conventional wisdom seems to be to keep it much shorter. My concern is just the length, pretend everything else is perfect.
Thanks!
