They mean the same thing. CV is an abbreviation for curriculum vitae (I think that's how it's spelled), which is a term rarely used outside of academia.

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 (CV) is instead used in the United Kingdom, some 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 and India) CV and résumé are used interchangeably.
A CV is a longer document than a résumé, and will include a comprehensive listing of professional history including every term of employment, academic credential, publication, contribution or significant achievement. In certain professions, it may even include samples of the person's work and may run to many pages. In contrast, a résumé is a summary typically limited to one or two pages highlighting only those experiences and credentials which the author considers most relevant to the desired position. CVs are the preferred recruiting tool for academic and medical professions while résumés are generally preferred for business employment

C.V. stands for curriculum Vitae. There is no difference between the two. I am from England and we use the word CV for a resume. Americans call it resume. Get it?

In Europe CV; Curriculum Vitae is used more widely.

A curriculum vitae is more detailed synopsis than a resume. It includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details.

It's the same thing. In Asia, people use the term CV, in the States, people use the term resume.

CV- Resume in summary- stressing on key points- more of proffesional experience- limit to 1 or 1.5 page- but gives all info- prefered in companies
Resume- in detail- educational & proffesional experience- mostly goes to 2 or 3 pages- prefered in educational institutes
