A Resume is a French word meaning "summary". It is ideally a summary of one's education, skills and employment when applying for a new job. A resume does not list out all details of a profile, but only some specific skills customized to the target job profile. It thus, is usually 1 or at the max 2 pages long. A CV is more detailed than a resume, generally 2 to 3 pages, or even longer as per the requirement. It lists out every skill, all the jobs and positions held, degrees, professional affiliations the applicant has acquired, and in chronological order. A CV is used to highlight the general talent of the candidate rather than specific skills for a specific position. A Cover Letter is usually a page you have typed in the format of any business letter in which you introduce yourself to a perspective employer. It is written to highlight the qualifications you have for the job for which you are applying and to provide the employer with additional information as to why you are a good candidate for the job.

Curriculum vitae or CV for short, is a latin expression which loosely translates to ‘the course of life’. By definition, a CV contains your biography or detailed account of academics, experience and projects undertaken, accomplishments, awards and affiliations, publications, teaching experience, honors and grants. A CV is written in a chronological order and the content does not change as per the job requirement. Résumé, a french word, means to sum up. Résumé is a brief job specific document that summarises the job experience, skillset, accomplishments, education, volunteer and extra curricular activities directly relevant to the particular position. The order in which it written is of little or no importance but the content must be tailored to suit the position applied for.The length of a resume is usually one or two pages whereas the length of the CV may vary as per the content. CV is mainly used in UK, New Zealand, European Union. Résumé is used in US and Canada. In India, South Africa and Australia, the terms resume and CV are used interchangeably.Depending on which part of the world you stay, you may choose the type of document. In India, unless specified, a combination of CV and resume is used. The document must contain your work experience so far(only relevant experience if you are aiming for change of career), education, training and volunteer activities, accomplishments, and extra-curricular activities, affiliations and publications. |
