A resume is a document used to represent yourself to potential employers during a job search. It includes your name, current contact information, summaries of your employment experience (work history), education, and relevant skills and achievements.
A cover letter (sometimes called an application letter or letter of interest) is sent with a resume. In it, you introduce yourself, identify the position you're seeking, and explain how you are qualified for the position and/or how the employer will benefit from hiring you.
