It’s basically a long résumé. The résumé gets your foot in the door with the “best of” highlights that are tailored to the specific job. The the CV is what you bring to the interview; It’s longer and has a more complete work history, instead of just the bits that are relevant to the job you applied for. So when they ask you “can you explain this gap in your employment for these two years” you can go “yeah, if you look at my CV, you’ll see that I was working/freelance in a tangental industry. But it wasn’t very pertinent to this application, so I left it off of my résumé when I applied.” And for tailoring your résumé to each job, you just copy/paste the relevant info from your CV to make a one page document. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) I agree about them basically being the same. In America a resume is basically a slightly shortened CV. But from my experience (as someone who has lived and worked in IT in both the US and the UK) they are nearly identical. They both summarize your work history in almost identical styles. But the resume is preferably limited to 2 pages maximum, while a CV can be longer. I don't recall ever having both a resume and a CV in the UK and initially applying with a resume and then bringing the longer CV to the interview. It was just a name and length expectation difference that separated them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] autokludge@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago 105 permalink fedilink source parent [–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago A 2CV was an awesome Citroên car. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago It's what Brits (and maybe others) often call a resume.
