what is the difference between "Bio data" "curriculum vitae" and "Resume"?

Answer 1

"Bio data" is a paragraph summary of who you are. It can be for any purpose whatsoever--a note at the bottom of an article you wrote, or a description on a dating site to give just a couple of examples.

A "resume" is a single page of information with specific types of information (for example, personal information, education, work experience) used to apply for a job.

A "curriculum vitae" is like a resume but usually (at least in American English) much longer--3-4 pages would be typical, but it could be even longer under some circumstances. You might include a list of your publications with a brief description and a link to them on a Web site, for instance.

To apply for most jobs, you would need a resume. To apply for many academically-oriented jobs, you would use a curriculum vitae instead.

Answer 2

It depends on your career. CV's (curriculum vitae) are used more for academic positions, while resumes are generally for non-academic careers. Bio data isn't really a commonly used expression when finding a job, as far as I know. The only cases in which I've ever heard it, it's referred to something very informal.

As far as the differences in actually making a CV or a resume, generally in a CV you highlight your education and publications, while in resumes, you highlight your work experience.

Answer 3

A resume contains only the relevant work experience (i.e. jobs you've held).
A curriculumn vitae contains personal information (i.e. birth date and location, year married, etc.).
The term bio data is new, but is in essence the same as a CV.

Answer 4

"CV's (curriculum vitae) are used more for academic positions, while resumes are generally for non-academic careers."

Not true. In my country (Finland) anyone who is going to a job interview includes his/her CV. Doesn't matter which job he/she is applying, people always mention it as CV. We don't use any other word for it, like Americans mostly say resume.

Answer 5

bio data refers specifically to your personal history - birthplace, marital history, children, personal acheivements, things like boy scouts or scholarships, etc
curriculum vitae, or cv, refers to your educational or training/internship history and is meant to give the reader an idea of the field(s) in which you should be considered knowledgable. doctors and lawyers, for example, use cv to give a history of where and what they studied that made them eligible for the profession that they practice. cv also include professional acheivements and certifications, i.e. a PhD in jurisprudence for a lawyer, or tenure as a professor, or an award for research a doctor has done.
resumes are brief histories of education and work experience for a person who is seeking a job. it gives the main points of your professional or educational history to the prospective employer. these are meant to be quick and to-the-point, and written to show why you are the ideal candidate for a position.

Answer 6

Your professional career.
CV's are usually for JD, MD and other post doctorate.

Bio data: that's a new one to me... sounds like someone got bored with resume...
