Resume vs CV: main objectives
Is a resume a CV? And which one is correct in the UK: a CV or a resume?
When people say ‘CV’ in the UK, they mean essentially the same thing as people in the USA do when they say ‘resume’. In the UK, people don’t use the word resume at all, though. In the US, they use the words ‘Curriculum Vitae’ (CV) to mean something quite different than what people in the UK call by that name.
The US use of ‘CV’ corresponds with the UK academic use. People applying for an academic position in a university or other higher education institution generally submit a CV, whether in the UK or USA. A CV in this context is a significantly longer version of both the regular British CV and American resume.
And what is a CV in England, specifically? In the UK, a CV is a comprehensive document that provides a summary of a candidate's educational background, work experience, accomplishments, and skills. They're usually displayed in a chronological order, and take one page maximum.
A strong CV summary will convince the recruiter you’re the perfect candidate. Save time and choose a ready-made personal statement written by career experts and adjust it to your needs in the LiveCareer CV builder.

CV vs resume: key differences
In the UK there is no difference between a CV and a resume. Both terms refer to the same thing, although ‘resume’ is not used at all in the UK. The term 'CV' is also popular in Ireland and New Zealand, as well as in Europe. In the USA there is a big difference between a resume and a CV: a resume is what would be called a CV in the UK and a CV is used only in academic contexts.
An academic CV (simply called a CV in the US) is very different from a regular CV or resume (US). It’s typically a far longer document with no page limit and includes many additional sections, like publications, conferences, fellowships, research grants, and so on. It’s used mainly for teaching and research jobs.
The word ‘resume’ is taken from the French résumé, the past participle of résumer, meaning ‘to summarise’. Whereas the term ‘curriculum vitae’ (CV) is simply Latin for ‘the course of one’s life’. This might suggest that a resume is a brief summary of your working life while a CV is more of an unfiltered account.
This rings truer for the US use of the terms resume and CV (where a CV [academic CV in the UK] is a longer, less filtered document than a resume). In the UK, though, a CV is no less a brief summary than a US resume. Both are tailored to a given job application and both focus on only the most relevant details.
UK vs other parts of the English-speaking world
On the UK side, there is Ireland, most European countries, and New Zealand. In these countries a relatively short summary of your education and career (what would be called a resume in the US) is called a CV. People applying for a university teaching and/or research position will typically submit an academic CV.
On the US side, there is mainly just Canada. Here the
