Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British?

  Oh. Okay. So just different words? Like sidewalk & footpath?

    Some people say that a resume is a shorter CV. But even a CV should only include the things relevant to the task you’re using for.

      Not traditionally. A CV should contain essentially everything whereas the resume is tailored to the specific position.

      CVs are much more common for academic positions but I’ve also seen them required for very specialized roles.

        How do you explain that in Europe pretty much all countries only use the word CV then for any job?
