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?

  By saying that I didn’t realize it was different in Europe. Often when we (Canada) do something different than the US, it’s because it’s closer to how it’s done in Europe and I assumed this was one of those cases.

  I’m planning on looking into this more when I have some free time as I’d like to understand where our approach to both documents came from.

    Fair enough :)

    In all countries in Europe I’ve been, CV is used both as a “life document” and a targeted document to a specific job.
