In the United States, CV is mainly used to apply for academic, educational and scientific research positions, or to apply for scholarships. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, resumes are more commonly used in job applications. Now people often refer to CV and Resume as "resumes". In fact, to be precise, CV should be a "resume", and a resume is a resume. Remember, a resume summarizes the academic preparation and experience related to job hunting, and it is a summary of experience and skills. Its main purpose is to persuade employers to hire themselves. Resumes focus on academic work, ignoring materials that are not directly related to academic qualifications and academic performance.
