Question

Sonya is applying for a new job, and she needs to prepare a résumé and cover letter. However, she is unclear about the differences between the two documents. Which of the following explanations is accurate and will help Sonya as she writes the cover letter?

Answer 1

A cover letter is a letter you write to introduce yourself to a particular hiring manager.(which may include even more-so personal details then what is typically seen in a resume)

However a resume is often used for every job you apply to, typically it contains all the general data regarding your experience in the working class and data that is required to be hired.
