The primary difference between a résumé and a CV is that a résumé:

a. Reflects your skills, knowledge, and background in relation to a specific position.
b. Offers a detailed listing of positions held and where positions were held.
c. Includes a long and detailed explanation of academic and work experience.
d. Provides contact information and focuses on your background, in general.


ANS: A
A résumé is a short, customized overview of your professional life that relates to the qualifications of specific positions and how you are able to match your background to the qualifications that are desired. Provision of contact information is common to both the résumé and the CV. Résumés are more effective if details of particular positions that have been held are highlighted as compared with a detailed listing of positions held.
