What is the Difference Between a Resume and a CV?
 
"Resume" literally means "a summary".

"Curriculum Vitae" (CV) comes from the Latin meaning, "course of one's life". A CV is a long, detailed resume for professions such as law, science and medicine. It includes experience, qualifications, certifications, awards, publications (journals, magazines, books, etc), licences, professional memberships, presentations and courses taught.
