Ok I've seen enough of the subject matter, for some of the forum keyboard warriors.... I don't wish to comment any further on this issue. After the comment which I'm about to make. As at the end of the day, its not really helping the main question which was asked.. (And to be honest I wish I never bought up the matter.)
If you really feel you need to know much further on the subject, try Google see what you find... Eitherway I don't want to know anymore. As I was only trying to help a fellow Expat.
Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV)?
What's the difference between a resume and a CV? The primary differences are the length, the content and the purpose. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. A goal of resume writing is to be brief and concise since, at best, the resume reader will spend a minute or so reviewing your qualifications.
A Curriculum Vitae, commonly referred to as CV, is a longer (two or more pages), more detailed synopsis. It includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details.
When to Use a CV
In the United States/UK a Curriculum Vitae is used primarily when applying for international, academic, education, scientific or research positions or when applying for fellowships or grants. As with a resume, you may need different versions of a CV for different type of positions.
What to Include in Your CV
Like a resume, your CV should include your name, contact information, education, skills and experience. In addition to the basics, a CV includes research and teaching experience, publications, grants and fellowships, professional associations and licenses, awards and other information relevant to the position you are applying for.
