When would you use them?
To be country specific, a resume is the standard application document in the US and Canada. A CV would, most of the time, be used when applying for a job internationally or for applying to an academic position. Whereas in countries like the UK, New Zealand and certain European countries, using a CV is the norm. However, it is understood that a resume is the equivalent to a CV.
By asking yourselves the following questions, it may help you decide when to use a resume vs. a CV:
1. What type of work are you applying for?
2. Where is this work located?
