The difference between a cover letter and an introduction statement on your resume is the format and content.
An introduction statement at the top of a resume (aka a professional summary) is a short paragraph or list that highlights your skills, experience, and education. Start this section with a heading that matches the title of the job you’re applying for (e.g., “Java Full Stack Developer”). Then, list the skills and experiences from your background that match the job posting.
A cover letter is 3–4 paragraphs (introduction, body, and conclusion) that elaborate on your interest in the company and your achievements within the skill sets from the job posting and your resume. Start a cover letter with a sentence that says what job you’re applying for (e.g., “I was thrilled to see the Assistant Property Manager position advertised on Indeed”).
