Good question.
When someone is applying for a job, they would usually just provide their CV but sometimes they would need to write a covering letter too.
A CV (or resume) is a document which is usually one or two pages long and it has information about the person applying for a job such as their education and their previous jobs and experiences, and these are written in bullet points and short sentences.
A covering letter is a letter written by the person explaining that they want to be considered for a job and why they would be the right person for the job. A lot of people explain things in the letter that they could not explain in the CV, for example if they have a gap between two of their previous jobs.
