When you’re in the UK and not in USA.

Same thing, same language, different words.

Help me with: “Ask a question, post a rant, tell us your story.” Interesting.

I thought that they have slightly different formats. A resume always starts with the objective. I think that a CV starts with a summery of your areas of interest.

I’m speaking from a position of ignorance here (always a good start!) - a CV is standard in the UK…I wasn’t aware that it was any different from a resume in the US. I thought maybe you were applying for a job in the UK and were confused by reference to a curriculum vitae. My apologies.

In the UK there’s no such thing as a resume. You tailor your CV to suit the job you’re applying for. It’s still a CV.

I’ll leave these responses to people who know what you’re talking about!

hmm. lol. You could be right. I don’t really know, myself. Thanks for trying, anyway.

I also think they’re pretty much the same thing… so do the people who made the wikipedia page.

This is what I found on Wikipedia…

A Curriculum Vitae (loosely translated as course of life) provides an overview of a person’s life and qualifications. It differs from a résumé in that it is appropriate for academic or medical careers and is far more comprehensive. A CV elaborates on education to a greater degree than a résumé. A résumé is tailor-made according to the post applied for. It is job-oriented and goal specific. One of the key characteristics of a proper résumé is conciseness.

In the United States and Canada, a CV is expected to 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 the European Union, there has been an attempt to develop a standardized CV model known as Europass (in 2004 by the European Parliament and European Commission) and promoted by the EU to ease skilled migration between member countries, although this is not widely used in most contexts.
