So you have created a new resume, and you are very proud of it. You have listed your skills, mentioned how hard-working and honest you are, and written the humongous number of responsibilities you have at your current job, complemented well by equivalent and expansive lists of responsibilities in your previous roles as well. You have used a high contrast colour scheme, inserted a cool-looking table, and distributed the information into 3 columns using objects and text boxes to not only make the resume look aesthetic and modern, but also show-off your MS Word formatting skills. You have shown the new resume to your friends and colleagues, and succeeded in eliciting oohs and aahs from them. Everyone has complemented you on the radical style and colouring, and how great it looks.
Many people use the terms résumé and CV interchangeably, not realizing that both documents are very different. While both are ideally used to apply for jobs, their contents and lengths differ a great deal.
