what is different between "resume" and "curriculum vitae"?

Question

general difference between "resume" and "curriculum vitae" and if possible specify the details to be furnished in it

Answer 1

The primary differences between a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a page or two, a Curriculum Vitae is a longer (at least two page) and more detailed synopsis.
A Curriculum Vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers expect to receive a curriculum vitae.

In the United States, a curriculum vitae is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.

Answer 2

The foundation of your job search should be a good, solid resume (which may also be called a curriculum vitae or vita). The curriculum vitae describes in detail one’s professional career over the course of one’s life, including both work experiences and qualifications. It is primarily used when pursuing opportunities in an academic setting. Although the curriculum vitae and resume have the same function, the differences between the two are length and format. In the business world, the standard resume is usually no more than two pages in length. An effective resume gets your foot in the door and it may lead to personal interviews.

Your resume should be detailed enough to give employers the information necessary to assess your qualifications for the job opening. At the same time, it should be concise. It’s essential that your resume be word processed; if you can’t word process it yourself, hire a word processor. The few dollars you pay to have it word processed will prove to be one of the best investments you will make. You may use your resume for several different purposes:


(a) include one with a “blind”’ letter of inquiry about a job opening;
(b) send one with a cover letter in response to an advertised position;
(c) attach one to a standard job application; or
(d) take it with you on a job interview.

Answer 3

A curriculum vitae is a longer than a resume (two or more pages), more detailed synopsis of your background and skills. A CV includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. As with a resume, you may need different versions of a CV for different types of positions.

In the United States, a curriculum vitae is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.

Answer 4

"A résumé (often spelled resumé or resume) is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, usually for the purpose of obtaining an interview when seeking employment. The word résumé is used especially in the United States and in English Canada; the Latin term curriculum vitae (often abbreviated CV) is used in the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries, as well as in the academic fields in North America, and in many languages other than English. In some regions (such as Australia) CV and résumé are now used interchangeably."

Answer 5

Actually yes, if I see a few interesting or suspicious questions/answers from someone I'll check out their about me and sometimes even search through their activity and even check the name they've signed up with(which no one should be able to see but there's a trick to it lol). Yeah it's a little stalkerish but it's really helpful to recognize trolls and gain insight on people here. Like you're a Mean Angel, what does that mean anyway?

I think "Résumé" is used in American English and "Curriculum Vitae" (CV) is preferred in British English.
