It annoys me even though I’m still in the U.S.

Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:

    I’m not from either place.

    I was under the impression that a CV and a resume are different things. A CV is a general compilation of all things you’ve done, and a resume is a curated list used for applying to jobs.

    I do know that they’re used interchangeably for the most part, but this is how I was explained the difference in practice.

      They seem to be used interchangeably in the UK at the jobs I’m applying for, but what I have is definitely CV and not resume.

          Some people say that a resume is a shorter CV. But even a CV should only include the things relevant to the task you’re using for.

            Not traditionally. A CV should contain essentially everything whereas the resume is tailored to the specific position.

            CVs are much more common for academic positions but I’ve also seen them required for very specialized roles.
