What is the difference between a curriculum vitae (CV)
and a resume?
 A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and
  education - no more than a page or two.

 A Curriculum Vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic
  backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience awards, honors,
  and other details.
That's the purpose of a resume

 The employer has no idea who you are. Your resume represents you.

 Makes you a person of interest to employers and that will give you an
  opportunity to meet the employer face to face.
