Resume vs CV: What Is the Difference?

Is it a resume? Or a CV? The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are distinct differences depending on your region and industry.

The Resume:

• Short length (1-2 pages)
• Tailored for a specific job post
• Common in the US, Canada, and Australia private sectors

The CV (Curriculum Vitae):

• Longer, detailed document of your life's work
• Used primarily for academic, research, or scientific roles
• Standard for most jobs in Europe, Asia, and Middle East
