Topic: CVs / Resumes
Introduction:
CV is the commonly used term in the UK, Ireland, and some parts of Europe. It stands for ‘curriculum vitae’ – Latin for ‘course of life’.
Resume, also spelled résumé, is the common term in the US and Canada. It comes from the French word for ‘summary’.
In some areas the two words may have some difference in meaning, but for the most part they can be used interchangeably.
