What is a Resume
2. is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, usually for the purpose of securing a new job. Often the resume is the first item a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker, and therefore a large amount of importance is often ascribed to it. Traditionally, resumes or CVs have been, like careers themselves, oriented towards what a person has accomplished thus far. In most contemporary career consulting the trend is to fashion the document towards what that person can accomplish in a particular job going forward. This is sometimes called a Targeted Resume.
What is a Curriculum Vitae or CV?
[Latin curriculum vitae, the race of life : curriculum, course + vitae, genitive of vita, life.]
Usage Note: A curriculum vitae may be called a vita, but should not be called a curriculum vita or just vitae; the former is ungrammatical Latin and the latter is nonsensical.
