CV or resume: which one do you need?
In India both words are often used for the same one or two page document. Strictly, a resume is a short summary tailored to a job, while a CV is a fuller record of your studies, work, projects and achievements. Academic, research and government applications usually expect the longer CV.
Use this builder for either one: fill the sections that apply, keep private-sector applications to one page and add more detail only when the application asks for it. The resume format guide shows how to arrange each section.
