Resume Vs Cover Letter

 A resume is basically something that you send to a company that you are trying to apply to so you can get a job. It’s a type of article that is straight to the point it is a formal type of letter. Some key things that it must have is an objective, your experience, your academics/ awards, and your education. The objective basically states what you are going to bring to the position. Your experience includes what kind of work you have ever done before and if you have done any volunteer work. Your academics/awards has the schools that you have attended and any special honorable awards you earned inside or outside of school. Lastly, your education has all the school you have gone (usually just middle school, high school, and college/university).


            
    A cover letter is more flowing that resume. It has full sentences unlike the resume. Its more letter type because it has a great and actually states why you want the job and everything. It also has a space for experience that you fill with your volunteer work and previous jobs but this one is more in depth. Over all the cover letter is more simple but I personally like the resume better.
