I know this topic has been discussed several times on a plethora of platforms, but, I think it's important for us to keep reminding ourselves of why it's a relevant topic.

When sending in job applications, it is best to use a resume, which is a direct answer to the advertised job.

A resume contains your contact details, education details and work experience as it relates to the role you are applying for.

HR managers will only look through your application for about 6 minutes. A resume is better suited for this purpose.

If you're applying as a project manager, it's better to send a resume showing your previous experience handling projects.

Instead of sending a CV, showing work experience that is unrelated to project management.

Your CV is a more comprehensive document, showing everything you have ever done, including, conferences attended, awards/recognition received, affiliations, etc.

Your CV is appropriate for scholarship, fellowship applications as well as consideration for honorary positions.

Good luck!
