What is the difference between a curriculum vitae (CV) and a resume?

A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education - no more than a page or two.

A Curriculum Vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience awards, honors, and other details.

That's the purpose of a resume

The employer has no idea who you are. Your resume represents you.

Makes you a person of interest to employers and that will give you an opportunity to meet the employer face to face.
