Difference between a CV and a Résumé

(1/2) > >>

shibli:
A résumé is shorter form of CV mainly used by freshers seeking for jobs while a CV is a more detailed one used by experienced persons opting for changing professions or the like. But the term résumé is commonly called in the USA and Canada while CV is used in European and Asian countries. CV is also used for academic purposes such as applying for scholarship since it is more likely to be a detailed one, on the contrary, a résumé is expected to have all the latest (preferably last 5 year's) information of a person.

And a Bio-data is much more detailed one than a CV containing all the personal information of a person required for matrimonial and investigation purposes.

One thing I want to add sir. I often notice that we don't use extra sign of accent on two ees of resume. Résumé is taken from french and it means  the word document that contains a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, whereas the word 'resume' has another meaning.

shibli:
You are right, Madam

shibli:
Madam,
I have corrected the word resume. How did you do that with key board? All i had to do is copy and paste extracting from your text.
