The difference between a resume and CV

There is no difference between a resume and curriculum vitae. Most current employers use these terms interchangeably. If you are asked to supply a CV (which stands for Curriculum Vitae) this is the equivalent to a resume.

In the past, a CV was completed by senior level staff with a long work history. It was usually highly detailed and lengthy, whereas a resume was shorter and often tailored to specific purposes. But these differences no longer exist. A resume is a CV and a CV is a resume.
