Dear job seeker, even thoughyou use both words interchangeably they don't mean the same thing. Read below and stop living in Ignorance.

CV
A CV can be easily mistaken for a résumé, however, there is a notable difference. A résumé is supposed to be carried by applicants with no relevant career experience or no experience whatsoever. On the other hand, CVs are to be carried by candidates with relevant experience.
Format of a CV
A CV normally includes the following elements −
Name − Full name of the applicant without general salutations like Mr., Ms.
Address − the permanent address.
Summary − a brief description of what you have achieved in your profession.
Academic Qualification − your academic qualification
Additional Knowledge − Skills you have acquired beyond your profession.
Acquired Skills − Soft Skills
Programming Languages − if any
Software Tools − Software tools you use in your profession (MS Word, Excel)
Operating System Platforms − operating system you use (Windows, Mac)
Database Management System − if any
Personal Skills − soft skills
Experience Breakdown − detailed explanation of your experience
Achievements & Interests − Hobbies. Achievements in professional life
Declaration − stating all information provided about the applicant as true.

You don try

Thanks OP.

HRM doesn't care just send one of the two

A résumé ( /ˈrɛzʊmeɪ/ , REZ -u-may or /rɛzʊˈmeɪ/ ; less frequently / ˈrɛzjʊmeɪ/ or /rɛzjʊˈmeɪ/ ; French: [ʁezyme] ), [a] also spelled resume ,[1] is a document used by a person to present their backgrounds and skills. Résumés can be used for a variety of reasons, but most often they are used to secure new employment. [2] A typical résumé contains a "summary" of relevant job experience and education , as its French origin (and its translation into Spanish as "resumen" implies. The résumé is usually one of the first items, along with a cover letter and sometimes an application for employment, which a potential employer sees regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview . The curriculum vitae (CV) used for employment purposes in the UK (and in other European countries) is more akin to the résumé—a shorter, summary version of one's education and experience—than to the longer and more detailed CV that is expected in U.S. academic circles. Generally, the résumé is substantially shorter than a CV in English Canada , the U.S. and Australia .[3] source: Wikipedia.

O!

I don tire for all these CV matter o. Work no dey una still dey tell us different versions of CV

..

Fair enough on the entry level - experienced hire angle but the bigger distinction is in length and use.

CV is longer and more detailed, like a profile you submit to the National Assembly when about to be nominated for a political position.

Resume is shorter and compressed, like that of a job seeker.

So someone can have both a CV and a resume depending on the purpose.

In any case, they are most times used interchngeably and there are cultural prefeences too. It is more popular to use CV for both in Nigeria (and many other countries), resume is more popular in other countries

Pls o i need a job in chevron, should i apply with a Resume,Cv or i should look for potent jAzz to use?

.

Nice one Op


Next should be,
The difference between CV, Résumé, & 'man who know man irrespective of the former'

Niyeal:
HRM doesn't care just send one of the two

apart from sending any who do u knw in the company

Thanks

from what u put up there,they are same thing.

nice one

This is so wrong. The major difference between them is the bulkiness of content. CVs are more detailed and explicit and is not bound by number of pages while a resumé is lighter in content and is only required to highlight previous positions and roles carried out.

Another thing to note is that CVs are more required in the academic fields as it requires detailed academic works, researches, conferences attended alongside their timelines.

Good one @opp

Okay ooooo.

But they are similar
The only difference I see here is that CV is more detailed than Resumè

C

Good. I guest most HRM do not know the difference. What matters most is having a good grade and some professional certifications.

Educational and informative.

Actually, there is NO difference between a resume and a CV. The difference: One is American English (Resume), one is British English. Any other differences are imagined.

I love this post

In nigeria if you like know the diff btw series of CVS and ResumeEeeë
And if your inlaw or your dad friends is not an insider...you will keep on writing resumay till you have Oxford versions, still you will not smell the off talkmore ice.

Or else u are ready to join their occultic kiingdom where you can never help the poor.

i see clean formatted CV and Resume here and presumably PDF format

I had an experienced with a HR man who said most of the time applicants are not called is because they didnt submit their CV/Resume in MS Word for their software to capture data easily.

I wonder how these CV format here will hold when opened in another system and probably another version of MS Word
