Both.
That is, you should list your work experience, education, certifications and such in a general way in the resume. In the cover letter, you should highlight those of your qualifications that specifically match the job requirements.
This makes it easier on the HR person screening resumes to say "Yep, this matches our bullet points" and pass the resume on to the hiring manager. They may or may not pass along the cover letter as well, so this information should be in the resume as well.

When a company asks you to send your resume by fax should you send a cover letter with it or just the resume?
1. When you fax your cover letter and resume, the cover letter goes into the body of the fax cover sheet. You don't have a cover sheet and a separate cover letter. Just the fax cover and the resume.2. Absolutely use a cover letter. Most cover letters can be prepared in the same font ans style as the resume. Either way, definitely use a cover letter.3. Adding to the previous answer, the main reason to use a cover letter is to make sure your resume gets to its intended recipient. Frequently, companies give you the most used fax number-meaning your resume could end up in a pile of faxes. Do you know what happens to the papers that pile up for any length of time at a fax machine used by multiple people? The trash can. It's always a good follow-up to call to make sure they receive your fax and that the transmission was readable. Inexpensive fax machines can turn beautiful resumes into chicken scratch, and with no cover sheet, they'll never know who was trying to send what! Lastly, if you are faxing a resume in response to a classified ad, or even an online job posting, you would be surprised at how many wrong fax numbers are mistakenly displayed. (Due to typos, errors by newspaper staff, or simply employers giving the regular phone line number and not the fax number!)4. I was taught at school that to send in a resume or job application without a covering letter is very discourteous. The covering letter can be very short.
What are the most important aspects to include in the cover letter which accompanies a resume?

How to Create a Good Work Resume?
In this economy, it can be incredibly frustrating to get a new job. People are losing their jobs every single day and the job market itself is an extremely competitive one. This is why it is essential that you have a professional resume to send to potential employers. If you are new to composing your very own resume, you may want to think about what goes into writing a resume and what you need to know when it comes to actually sending the template off to an employer. Knowing these things will help your resume to appear more professional. The first thing you may want to consider using would be a resume template for Word. These templates are normally free for you to download and use on your own computer. You can then fill in your own information and print the resume out so that it can be faxed to offices in your field. You should always put a cover letter onto each resume which will serve to introduce yourself and to explain why you want a particular job. A good quality cover letter will be the first thing employers see even before they begin looking over your resume. The entire resume also needs to be proofread completely before it is printed and faxed to employers. You do not want to send a resume that has any spelling errors or poor sentence structure. Everything needs to flow well so that it looks neat and well-organized. Believe it or not, your ability to land a job really depends on how professional your resume looks. A resume that is full of spelling errors will not look good and it will tell employers that you are either sloppy or uneducated. You will love being able to get a great job just by having a wonderful resume. With the variety of templates available to you, it can be incredibly easy to find something that really suits your needs well. Be sure to add important information to the resume to let employers know what your education and work experience has been like. This will give you a step up when it comes to finally landing a job.
