First Session: What's the difference between CV and Resume ??

[Kaffyfolla]

The CV presents a full history of your academic credentials, so the length of the document is variable. In contrast, a resume presents a concise picture of your skills and qualifications for a specific position, so length tends to be shorter and dictated by years of experience

 

[Immilash1]

That's for the clarification. You've clearly different between a cv and resume. To be frank I don't really know what resume is but you've made everything clear.

 

[Timgab]

First of all kudos for the great thread. Most times cv is always misused for resume but you have clearly make the difference between the two.

 

[Lucy ID]

Thank you a lot for this, I always thought that C.V and Resume are always the same until I come across this write up on here now I know better

 

[Lens]

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I always thought they are the same. Now, I will use resume and CV in the correct context. That's a good thread!

 

[Syldan]

To me, I can see CV as the presentation of you academic and scientific qualifications of which some one acquire over a given period of time. while Resum. is an explanation of experience, presented on the particular job you are seeking.

Yes you are right, CVs are lengthier than resumes and include more information, particularly details related to one’s academic and research background

 

[Ononivami1]

I juggled the two together. I never knew the difference between CV and resume. Thanks to your thread because I have always known the two to mean the same. Thanks for the analysis.

 

[Maphalle]

CV gives all details from personal information to references while a resume gives information but in short

 

[kayode10]

The difference between this two word are the cv represent your the presentation of your educational qualifications to an organisation in seeking for jobs opportunities while the resume is a letter of acceptance of your employment.

I really like the way you explain the difference between CV and resume. I tried to explain the same thing to my younger brother over here but he is finding it difficult to understand what I'm saying.

 

[ganibade]

CV and resume are the same. This can be used or quest from the new applicant that what to start new job. This will explain more about the new applicant that what to resume job.

 

[eLdavis]

Thanks for the clarification, I had always thought they where the same thing and can be used at anytime, I guess I was just mixing the whole thing up before.

Yes,
The CV presents a full history of your academic credentials, so the length of the document is variable. In contrast, a resume presents a concise picture of your skills and qualifications for a specific position, so length tends to be shorter and dictated by years of experience

 

[sharonpedrosa]

Writing a CV is always an important thing to notice. One perfect CV can give me one dream job. This is very informative gonna apply your tips while writing a CV.

 

[Bousine123]

Cv (curriculum vitae ) is a a Latin word that means " course of life" , is has no length limit and is use for outlining the whole detail of one's academic course while Resume, comes from the French word " to sun up" and outlines only work experience and skills.

 

[Shigobad20201]

The difference between the cv and the resume is that the cv is a description of your academic qualifications specifying your area of specialisation while the resume tries to specify the level of or your experience about that particular job.

That was a detailed explanation you just gave on the aspect of a cv and a resume, your curriculum vitae contains your academic qualification in your area of specialization while your resume deals with the experience you have on the jobs you have been doing.

[RG5]

The difference between a CV and a resume lies in the length, format and purpose of these documents. The CV has no length limit; resume are usually one to two pages long. A CV details the entire course of a candidate's academic career; A resume summarizes skills and work experience. CV is used for academic purposes while resume is used to apply for the job.

The goal is the same, you present them for a scholarship or a job or an internship, but if you want to take it more deeply, there is a difference between them.
