    Re: difference b/w cover letter and apllication letter

    A cover is just like a letter of introduction and also an attestation to your abilities and suitability for recruitment and academic pursuits, It could also stand for vouching for you, your conducts, morals and behavioural disposition. so most people get employed from a well written and well framed cover letter.
    Be good!

    A cover letter is supposed to be a short document introducing yourself and explaining the job position being sought as a backing for ur CV. The important thing in cover letter is to show that your skills match those for the job advert.

    Re: difference b/w cover letter and apllication letter

    Cover Letter Format


    Your Contact Information
    Name

    Address
    City, State, Zip Code
    Phone Number
    Email Address

    Date

    Employer Contact Information (if you have it)
    Name
    Title
    Company
    Address
    City, State, Zip Code


    Salutation
    Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name, (leave out if you don't have a contact)

    Body of Cover Letter
    The body of your cover letter lets the employer know what position you are applying for, why the employer should select you for an interview, and how you will follow-up.

    First Paragraph
    The first paragraph of your letter should include information on why you are writing. Mention the position you are applying for and where you found the job listing. Include the name of a mutual contact, if you have one.

    Middle Paragraph(s)
    The next section of your cover letter should describe what you have to offer the employer. Mention specifically how your qualifications match the job you are applying for. Remember, you are interpreting your resume, not repeating it.

    Final Paragraph
    Conclude your cover letter by thanking the employer for considering you for the position. Include information on how you will follow-up.

    Complimentary Close

    Respectfully yours,

    Signature

    Handwritten Signature (for a mailed letter)

    Typed Signature

    while an application letter is the raw deal,just the same way you apply for any other job
