A resume is a brief, usually one-page document used to apply for jobs.

In the U.S., it’s the standard job application document and is usually expected to include a cover letter as well.

Outside the U.S., a similar document is used for job applications; this is called a CV.

These documents should cover the basic details that make you qualified for the role: who you are, your top skills, experience and education.

In some countries, the term is almost interchangeable because it refers to a one-page document used for hiring purposes.

However, CVs tend to be longer than resumes in many countries, often exceeding one-page.

In the U.S., CVs tend to be used mostly for academic, science and research positions because they contain additional sections about your publications and achievements.

CVs are also more likely to contain photographs than resumes.

Yes, it’s standard to include a cover letter with your resume.

The only time you should skip it is if the job post or ad specifically says not to, or if it’s an online application where there is no place to do so.

It should be 3-4 paragraphs long and should not exceed one page in length, like a standard business letter.

It should strengthen the content of your resume by giving it additional context and richness by turning your career into a story.
