MAIN BODY
Curriculum vitae
A CV is being refereed to as a elaborated document which highlights my
professional as well as academic record in the most organised manner. The range of
such documents covers data like personal information, schooling record, achievements,
working expertise or experience, awards, any publications, research projects of my work
(McGloin and Georgeou, 2016). Resume is different from CV, as the resume is being
considered as a tiny form which render a brief of earlier roles as well as details about
their personal and academics. On the other hand, CV is a detailed version document
which is much longer and majorly focussed on the research work conducted and the
past experience an individual holds and used in jobs and fellowship.
Cover letter
A cover letter is a one page written letter to an organisation who are offering a
particular job which is suitable for my expertise. An ideal cover letter has to cover the
part where a person introduce themselves and write their skills in the most unique way
so that the person reading the letter find it valid and encouraging (Gray, 2015). They are
often written while attaching other documents like CV or resume. Job seekers send
such documents for getting an appropriate job and desired position for explaining their
potential and capabilities to the company.
