appliaction?
Its is a cover letter that has to be
sent or uploaded with your
resume when applying for jobs.
While your ‘Resume’ offers a
history of your work experience
and skills, the job application
letter you send to an employer
explains why you are qualified for
the position and should be
selected for an interview.
