Curriculum Vitae (CV) vs. Resume
The primary differences between a resume and a CV are- Length- What is included- What each is used for
A resume is 1 or 2 page summary of your skills, experience and education. Short document.
A CV includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching & research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. A longer document. Normally send for academic assignments.

Resume
Resume is the first impression for any one on a company / organization
The initial screening / elimination takes place based on resume
If you showed your skills in writing a good resume, you have nearly crossed half the bridge of reaching your job.

Resume
A resume should be something that convinces the recruiter to give us the job
Your Resume should be filled with carefully organized point-by-point message that says one simple thing: “give me this job” .
You may also get more chances , if the resume is framed as an offer , rather than a demand. For example : A good resume says “Give me this job”, a great one says “Let me help your company achieve your organizational goals.”
