A+ for resume format
Cover Letter: I'm glad you have a solid understanding of MS Office. This proves that you are at least as skilled as my 10 year old cousin. Please use this skill to reformat your resume and cover letter.
Seriously though, your CL is a solid wall of text. 450 words is too many words. I am actively trying to waste time online right now and I couldn't even bring myself to get through it.
I'm not sure what it'll look like when formatted correctly but I suspect your resume summary is also too long. I suspect the same will go for many of your bullet points under work experience. Shoot for 1-2 lines. 1 is ideal.
What would you consider a sufficient amount of words?
I read somewhere you should try to keep it around 300? Not sure how conceivable that is (my cover letter is around 379 words so I can't judge). Also your cover letter is a text attack, try breaking it up by putting a space between paragraphs. I just skimmed it, but you might want to mention something about why you wish to make the transition?
I couldn't even handle the resume, sorry.
Thank you I will make the necessary adjustments. The resume format isn't in its original state for some reason I had to save it as a text and that's the way it showed up.
and here I was thinking the more the merrier
