CV = poorly-prolonged résumé that nobody cares if your alma mater is neither Stanford nor Caltech. or = a biography that is so ph**king brief in that there truly has nothing to write about a ordinary person.
@rannnn Americans and Canadians would only use a CV when applying for a job abroad or if searching for an academic or research oriented position. But in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand, a CV is used in all contexts and resumes aren ’ t used at all. The CV prevails in mainland Europe and there is even a European Union CV format available for download
