When applying for a job it is recommended you have 3 documents. The Cover Letter , The resume , and the portfolio. The Cover Letter should provide as much information about you, your skill set, and why you are the perfect employee for the job. The resume summarizes all these facts into something the employer can visualize without reading a lot. The portfolio is recommended so the employer can verify your skill set like the one you are reading before you.
