Resume Vs 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 a Curriculum Vitae is used primarily when applying for international, academic, education, scientific or research positions or when applying for fellowships or grants. Scientific, Academic, and Medical professionals usually require a Curriculum Vitae, or CV, when applying for research, faculty, or clinical positions. The Curriculum Vitae, unlike the standard American resume, concentrates primarily on a job applicant's extensive academic accomplishments and professional activities. The CV is a credentials-driven piece, highlighting affiliations, dissertation titles, medical or academic posts, and publications. A strong CV is a thorough biographical statement, usually encompassing two pages for students and entry-level professionals, and often reaching ten pages for senior-level executives.

To apply in the USA or in certain American companies in Europe you need a Resume rather than Curriculum Vitae. A resume is more of a sales letter of your own capabilities than a "tabelaric statement of your professional life so far".
