What is the difference between a CV and a resume?

A CV (Curriculum Vitae) provides a detailed overview of your educational background, work experience, skills, certifications, and achievements. It is typically longer and contains comprehensive information about your professional history. A resume, on the other hand, is a shorter and more targeted document that highlights the most relevant qualifications and experience for a specific job. In Pakistan, employers often use the terms CV and resume interchangeably, but a CV generally includes more detailed information than a resume.
