What is the difference between CV bio-data and resume?

Answer 1

The primary differences between a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a page or two, a Curriculum Vitae is a longer (at least two page) and more detailed synopsis.

A Curriculum Vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers may expect to receive a curriculum vitae.

In the United States, a curriculum vitae is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.

Answer 2

Biodata is a commonly used psychology term for biographical data. Biodata surveys are in the form of multiple choice questions. In India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, a biodata is essentially a resume plus physical attributes, such has height, weight, hair/skin/eye color, and a photo.

An application form is a form created by the employer to collect information from job applicants. It may include much of the same information as a resume, but it is organized for the convenience of the employer.

A resume includes a work and salary history, educational history and job objective.

A curriculum vitae is a list of one's professional and educational history and tends to focus on one area of expertise. It's commonly used by authors, researchers, speakers, professors and other experts in a particular field.

* A cover letter is designed to outline your background to a prospective employer. * A resume gives them details and expands on the information in your cover letter * A CV is basically an expanded resume that's mostly used in the academic world. For example, teachers need to provide more details regarding things like subjects they've taught, books they've published, etc. So it's just longer and more detailed than a standard resume used for most other jobs. * A cover letter is designed to outline your background to a prospective employer. * A resume gives them details and expands on the information in your cover letter * A CV is basically an expanded resume that's mostly used in the academic world.

A CV -- curriculum vitae -- is used by academics and lists their education, career history, papers they've published, committees they've served on, classes they've taught, research they're conducting, etc. It's usually very long -- 15-50 pages.

A resume is what the rest of the employed world uses and it's a brief summary of education, skills and job history. It is usually one page long.

Answer 5

A resume and a CV are simply two different words for the same thing. A resume is a profile and outline of your qualifications and experience. It goes over what you've done in your previous work and how your skills can contribute to the company you're apply to.

A cover letter is an actual memo that you write directly to the employer telling them why you qualify for the job you want. It is an introduction to your resume and convinces the employer why they should hire you. They will look at how you write, how professional you sound, and how your skills can benefit them.
