My cover letter will vary from my resume in many ways. The cover letter puts a person and a value to your resume. Your resume is simply what you’ve done where as your cover letter is who you are and what you are like. In my cover letter I will stress what exactly I can bring to the company that I am applying to and it will allow me to go into further detail on what the experiences in my resume actually mean. Particularly, I focused on my position at Pick-A-Tool. I will explain in more detail what I do at Pick-A-Tool and how it relates to the position at ALDI. I also wrote the location of Pick-A-Tool in the cover letter because it shows that I worked very close to where the position at ALDI is located. I also tried to include vocabulary that I would never even think to include in my daily speech into the cover letter because it makes me sound more professional. In all I think that this cover letter could easily set me apart if I can make it a successful letter. If I do it poorly though, it can completely eliminate me from the said position. This is basically how my resume will vary form the cover letter.

Using vocabulary that the company understands, but someone who is not involved in that company doesn't - makes the person seem like they are more in touch with the company. It is also interesting that the resume and the cover letter have to be straight to the point and both sale you as the next employee, but they both do it in a different way and at a different angle.
