Hello gurus in the house.Please I need a detailed answer on the difference between a CV and a Resume.

It will be helpful to so many job seekers out there who always make the mistake of submiting Resume in a place where they are supposed to submit CV.

Americans adopts 'Resume' while the British uses 'Curriculum Vitae' (CV).

CV is usually a long summary of one's education, career, etc summary and is static from one job requirement to the other.

Resume on the other hand is tailored made profile of an applicant for a specific job role. Resume is not static but changes depending on the job applying for.

datola:
Americans call the document 'Resume' while the British call it 'Curriculum Vitae' (CV)

But it has some difference nah..
