[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 182430, member: 36777"] While your total wordcount may be on the lengthy side, I don't think it is necessarily overkill. When I was applying for a firm with no word count limit on the cover letter and some other questions, I think I wrote in total over 2500 words, to which I added roughly another 1000 in the work experience section - and my application ended up being progressed. What I think does matter is to write in a concise, structured manner and to avoid repetition. If everything you have written in the section adds substantive value to your application, puts the recruiter in a better position to understand your work experience, and is not verbose, I don't think you have to worry. However, I would advise you to scrutinize your written work experience for lack of conciseness - and to be just as self-critical as you would be when reviewing a cover letter/motivation question written answer.
