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

[Sincerem]

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.

Can you please, detail me the little differences between the two?
I simply wants to learn something new and amend my own understanding if I am right or simply needs more knowledge on any of them.

I have explained everything in the thread; just read it slowly and carefully, and you'll get what I meant.

CV and Resume are great tools to introduce yourself. I personally use them both, my resume explains my qualities, characters, and skills. It portrays my story to the company or to the institution to that I apply. I use it to showcase my skills that might add value to the organization. And my CV contains all my personal bio-data which the organization would find helpful while making a decision. This has really helped to distinguish me from others while attending an interview. The recruiter first sees our resume and CV and makes a decision even before meeting us. So having a good resume and CV is very essential to make your mark in the interviews.

The final session of a CV is a resume means a CV could include the big lines while a resume is just containing everything but more details so employer first read CV then resume then ask some questions.

A resume is mostly a one page document that is containing only information about a person's education and experience especially if he's applying for a job. A cv on the other hand is more expantiated and it is going to give more details to things that have been highlighted on the resume.

Even with the explanation that you did provided, I do not see any difference between resume and the CV . The two words are used interchangeably and could replace each other.

CV is a very in-depth document that describes your career journey step-by-step while a resume is a short, straight-to-the-point, document created for the purpose of applying to a specific job.

Cv is detailed in that it tells about the educational qualification of the person involve as well as the job experience one has gotten,but a resume is purelly the job experience and exposure one has gotten over time.

I think CV is a high document that describe a person career, is also a full history of a person academic so CV is very important because is your skills that speaks for you.

One thing about a resume is that it highlights all the experiences and skills as well as the jobs the applicant has been involved in.While a cv contains the educational qualifications and bio data of the applicant.

A CV is a document concerning your whole academic journey so far it is used to apply for job in organisations while a Resume is a document containing details and in a limited number of pages which is specifically to show detailed qualifications for job interviews.

Even with the explanation that you did provided, I do not see any difference between resume and the CV . The two words are used interchangeably and could replace each other.

It is simple bro, Cv is used once they need more details about your career (experiences, volunteering activities, Projects, education, skills..) and this is commonly used once you apply for a scholarship.

A resume is a short version once you highlight only the important events that you did throughout your life. Is it okay now?

 

[tyrim88]

That is a very good exposure about the issue of resume and cv,but here in my clime the general norm is in a situation where most employee would want to see your academic qualfication and your job experience in one application.

i believe that a c.v is a more comprehensive piece of information about you than the resume and they are both used for different purposes, a c.v would be used for applying for more professional fields why your resume might be for casual things

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 (generally 1-2 pages
