What is a cover letter?
A cover letter is a one-page document that you submit
with your resume to express your interest in a job
opening. The purpose of a cover letter is to introduce
yourself to an employer and provide a brief overview of
your work history, professional skills, and an
explanation why you’re the best fit for that job.

The difference between
CV & Resume
A resume is a one- to two-page document presenting key
facts about your professional experience, educational
background, and skills. A CV (Curriculum Vitae) is a
longer document that details the whole course of your
career. A resume is used for job search, a CV —for
academic purposes.
