CV v/s
RESUME
There is
some confusion regarding these terms, but if you thought that they were
interchangeable, here’s hoping to clearing up the confusion.
British
versus American
Plainly, a
CV (Curriculum Vitae, which means ‘course of life’ in Latin), is the term the
British use for a job profile. Americans, on the other hand, use the term
resume when referring to the standard job profile.
Long and
short
A CV is a
detailed document, one that is usually two to three pages long and is more than
just a career biography. A resume is just the opposite. It’s a concise
document, not longer than one page that a recruiter can quickly skim through to
have a better understanding of the candidate.
Details and
formats
Since a CV
should be far more detailed than a resume, you have the freedom of jotting down
the majority of your academic qualifications, extracurricular activities, and
work experience. A resume is more about being relevant and defining your
profile according to the job or organization to which you are applying. You
have the liberty to toot your own horn when it comes to CVs, but a resume does
not give you that flexibility.
