I dunno why you're being downvoted, but could you explain the differences, please?

A curriculum vitae (CV) is specifically for academia. It’s much more detailed than a resume. Essentially it’s your entire professional history: publications, invited talks, grants, education and certifications. It can include descriptions of your research interests. It might also list students you advised.

The CV of a mid-career professor or researcher can easily be 10+ pages long. A resume is typically much more curated and only 1-2 pages maximum.

To complicate things, this is US terminology and a CV on other places can look like a US resume

Thank you, very detailed reply!

The other commenter covered it, didn't get there in time. People are probably downvoting me because they likely use cv this way. Additionally, some may think I'm in academia and being elitist, though I'm a college dropout who, until recently, was a cook. I just believe words have meaning.
