CV is the British term for resume.

I thought it was the Latin term for Curriculum Vitae.

Which is basically the British (or academic) term for resume.

In the UK CV === resume. We don't tend to keep lengthy overviews of our work/achievements in the way (I observed) Americans do.

Ah, well to be fair, I did qualify my statement with "the US." I wasn't aware that the commenter was a foreign national.

I'm Irish therefore you should bend to my rules, quirks and grammar....
