Level 1 (Iniciante – A2)
A CV and a resume are both papers people use to apply for a job. They show your work and school history. In some places like the United States and Canada, people use resume more for a job application. In other places, people say CV for the same paper. A CV can be longer and have more details about your education and work. A resume is short and simple. It shows only the most important points. Both help employers learn about you. When you apply for a job, you must know which one to send. Some employers want a short resume, others accept a CV. The words are similar but have different uses in different countries.
