CV or Curriculum Vitae means “course of life” in Latin. It is a detailed document that outlines a job applicant’s entire career history with information like education background, work experience, skills, achievements etc.
…………
Resume is a French term which means “summary.” So, it is a document that highlights a job applicant’s relevant skills and experience for a specific job. A CV summary, if you will.
…………
To me, it doesn’t really matter actually. Regardless whether you submit a CV or a resume for a job application, important is that the document highlights your relevant skills and experience for the job you are applying for and it is tailored to the specific position and company.
H – HIGHLIGHT your relevant experiences & notable achievements.
I – INCLUDE keywords to beat the Applicant Tracking Systems.
R – RESEARCH about the company & role to cater your contents.
E – EMPHASIZE your value proposition that you can offer.
D – DOUBLE-CHECK for errors especially typos.
Happy weekend everybody. And best of luck in your job search!
