    If you write one, make sure it is relevant. I've received one or two that impressed me, others that were clearly generic and looked unimpressive.

    A few paragraphs is plenty. Even one well thought out and relevant paragraph would impress (vs. nothing or a generic that you just changed company names).

    It is also an opportunity to explain something that might not read well in your resume. I had a few that were not clear candidates, but seemed interesting enough that if they explained why they were applying I would have interviewed.
