4. A cover letter is a letter of introduction
attached to, or accompanying another
document such as a resume or curriculum
vitae. For job seekers, there are 3 categories:
Invited cover letter – responds to a known job
opening

positions
Networking letter – requests information and
assistance in the sender’s job search

6. A curriculum vitae (CV) on the other hand
represents a brief about a professional. The
organisation or position you are seeking
determines the type of CV or resume to be
produced. This document contains information
such as personal data, educational detail,
certificate obtained, career objective(s), work
experience, skills, professional bodies or any
other specific information the organisation may
require. It must be simple, concise, legible and
understandable with correct dates…
