CV Writing or Resume Writing – What is Right?

Geographies have differences, and so do individuals, things, and what not. When it comes to applying for a job, many are not aware why they call their profile a CV or a resume. They have no idea on what is the difference between a curriculum vitae and a resume.
Here is the difference:
1.      A CV is usually two and more pages, whereas resume is two or less pages. 

2.      Fresher’s prepare a resume, whereas experienced individuals prepare a CV.
3.      In the US, a CV is required for various purposes that include academic application, research positions, fellowships, grants or scientific positions. However, confidentiality of personal information is the prime aspect of US CVs.
4.      In the Gulf, Europe, Asia and Africa, CVs are loaded with personal information, and is referred as a CV, rather than a resume.
It is often beneficial to keep your CV updated.
