If you mean a cover letter for a faxed resume, then all you need to put are the relevant phone numbers, addresses, number of pages in total fax, etc. But for a resume that you bring in person, there is no need for a cover letter. Actually, most potential employers would just see that as unnecessary paper for them to go through. As for the resume, you should put your name, address, phone number and email address at the top, then below that begin with your education. Start with any college you've had, then high school. Now comes your work history, beginning with the most recent jobs, and working down to the earlier jobs you've had. Be sure to include all job duties and responsibilities, but don't over exaggerate any of them, which would be quite obvious to a potential employer. If you were at a job for only a very short time, it may be best to not put those jobs on your resume, since this could make you seem to be a job hopper, and not a dependable employee. Also, don't criticize any former employers or co-workers. If a potential employer wants to know the circumstances of why you left a previous job, be honest, but also be very tactful and diplomatic in the way you answer. There is no need to put hobbies, marital status, etc. If a potential employer wants to know these things, they will ask.
