It is a short letter used to introduce yourself to a recruiter/company. In it you summarize your professional experience, and highlight the skills which make you an appropriate fit for the position. The cover letter is used to attract the attention of the recruiter by showing why you're an excellent candidate for a given position. It should always be short and to the point.

Each resume can have three language versions (English / Spanish / Portuguese). When you apply to a job you will get to choose which resume, and which language to send your resume in. Each job listing will specify the languages that the recruiter is accepting resumes.
