A resume and a cover letter are two separate documents that are often used together when applying for a job. The main difference between a resume and a cover letter is their purpose and content.

A resume is a formal document that provides an overview of a person’s qualifications, work experience, education, and skills. It typically includes a summary of the individual’s career objectives and relevant achievements. The purpose of a resume is to showcase a person’s qualifications and experience to a potential employer.

On the other hand, a cover letter is a document that accompanies a resume and is typically addressed to a specific person or company. It provides a brief introduction to the individual and highlights why they are interested in the position and how their skills and experience make them a good fit for the job. A cover letter is an opportunity for the applicant to make a personal connection with the employer and demonstrate their enthusiasm for the position.

In summary, a resume provides a detailed overview of a person’s qualifications and work experience, while a cover letter is a personalized introduction that highlights the individual’s interest in the position and how their skills make them a good fit for the job.
