Difference between a curriculum vitae (CV) and a résumé (commonly written as resume)

Common belief is that the difference between a curriculum vitae (CV) and a résumé (commonly written as resume) is that a CV is used in the UK while a resume is used in the US. While that is true, there is actually a small difference between the two documents. A resume is typically not more than a page long, and contains a summary of a person's relevant job experience and education. A curriculum vitae - which means "course of life" in Latin - is a longer document that includes details of important but relatively less relevant things, like a more detailed description of education, publications, awards, affiliations and other academic accomplishments. Both are typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview, when seeking employment. Key differences •  CVs are focused on academic work with an emphasis on research and teaching while résumés are focused on non- academic work with an emphasis on related competencies (skills, knowledge and attributes) •  CVs aim to provide comprehensive information while resumes aim to summarize key information •  CVs are often long – 5, 10, 20 or more pages - while resumes are generally 1 to 2 pages maximum . Cvs  Purpose In Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, employers expect a CV. In the U.S., a CV is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. While resume are used for Job Applications When to use a resume You can use a resume when you’re: • applying for work • networking with potential employers • applying for some graduate schools, co-op programs, internships, scholarships, etc. • participating in events like career fairs or recruiting events See the WHAT IS A RESUME AND WHAT CONTENT SHOULD IT INCLUDE? When to use a CV You can use a CV when you’re: • applying for work and/or contracts in academics, advanced research, post-secondary teaching, and fine arts • applying for graduate school, scholarships, etc. • showcasing your background prior to a presentation  Examples of Strengths: 1.      One of my biggest strengths is my communication skills. I work very well with all kinds of people, and understand that everyone has different perspectives about projects and work tasks - so when I work with others I realize that everyone comes to the table with different priorities and objectives. I keep this in mind when I communicate tasks that need to be accomplished with positive reinforcement and awareness of what others are working on. 2.      A positive attitude will not differentiate you from the crowd. A good attitude is expected of every employee. Also you should back up what you say with an example. For example, don't just say you have good customer service skills prove it by also telling them how you won a company award or received positive customer comment letters for your good service. 3.      My strength is my flexibility to handle change. As customer service manager at my last job, I was able to turn around a negative working environment and develop a very supportive team. 4.      Hard worker 5.      Punctual 6.      Determined 7.      Able to prioritize 8.      Believe in myself; self-confidence 9.      I have the ability to cope with failures and try to learn from my mistakes. 10.  I like to work in team and have been an active participant and organizer at several places. 11.  One of my greatest strengths I've acquired during my education is good analytical and planning skills. This has always benefited me to set goals and try to achieve them. But at the same time, I'm driven by the thoughts of success. 12.  Full commitment to my work 13.  Highly energetic 14.  Love to learn new things. 15.  Having good interpersonal skills 16.  Well organized and like to be neat with all of my work 17.  A good helper towards those who need it 18.  I am a team player and work well with others. 19.  Optimistic approach towards life.. 20.  I am a quick learner. I have great problem-solving skills and am willing to learn new things to get the job done.  21.  Focus on your strengths, but have an answer regarding a challenge you have met and overcome... Weaknesses do not exist, just challenges and solutions...  22.  Think of any trait or skill you have that pertains to the job you are applying for. Think of instances when you have shown a lot of skill in that area. Examples of Weaknesses: 1.     I sometimes push my people too hard. I like to work with a sense of urgency and everyone is not on the same wavelength. 2.     For my weakness, I always say that some people say I'm over-friendly. You can't go wrong with that one. Usually, the person interviewing is like "Oh, that's not a bad thing at all." 3.     I'm a little egoistic when it comes to winning things and get a little ruthless too. 4.     I lose patience sometimes when I am not in a position to complete the assigned job in time. 5.     I have to work on having more patience and giving myself a break, because I always want everything done at once. 6.     Tend to go to any limits while helping my friends. 7.     I am too focused on my work and I need to find more time to relax. 8.     I'm too focused on work and need to develop some after-hours hobbies Tell me about Your Self About 90% of the interviews start with this question. Start with the present and tell why you are well qualified for the position. Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your qualifications to what the interviewer is looking for. In other words you must sell what the buyer is buying. This is the single most important strategy in job hunting. You can follow the following procedure: 1.     Tell your name first, only if the interviewer doesn't called you by your name. 2.     Location from where you belong. 3.     Higher education and college name. 4.     Strengths 5.     Hobbies 6.     Achievements- in brief 7.     Any course you have done regarding the post required 8.     Project Work 9.     Work experience if any DO's & DON't: 1.     The answer must not exceed 2-3 minutes. 2.     Don't mention your weaknesses. 3.     Don't mention your parents name and school name. 4.     End the answer with your strong point because there are more chances that your next question rises related to that point. 5.     No need to tell them about your percentage, i.e. mentioned in your resume. 6.     Whatever you say must be true, they can easily figure out if you are fake. 7.     Don't look like you memorized the answer. 8.     Be optimist 9.     Short is sweet, they don't want to hear a long story form you. 10.  They can interrupt you in between and cross question you. Be prepared for that.
