Difference between Resume and CV and BioData

 RESUME

Etymology: Resume is a French word meaning “summary”.

– A resume would be ideally suited when experience people apply for specific positions where certain specific skills  are more important than education.

Resume

• 1 or 2 pages max

• Lists only relevant and active certifications

• Customised to a target job description

• Written in a neutral or third person tone

• Most Important Information: Full Name, Contact Details, Experience in reverse-chronological order, Education details, Professional Skills & Certifications

• Not required: Date of Birth, Gender, Fathers name, Nationality, Hobbies, Declaration.

CV – CURRICULUM VITAE

Etymology: Curriculum Vitae is a Latin word meaning “course of life”.

– A CV, on the other hand should be the preferred option for fresh graduates or people looking for a career change. It could also be used by people applying for academic positions. or if specifically asked to apply with a CV instead of a Resume.

CV

• No limit on the pages

• Lists all skills and certifications held (also expired)

• Customised for a larger audience and not for a specific job description

• Written in a first, neutral or third person tone

• Most Important Information: Full Name, Contact Details, Short Bio, Education details, Experience in chronological order, Professional Skills & Certifications, Interests, Courses, Publications, References

• Not required: Date of Birth, Gender, Fathers name, Nationality, Hobbies, Declaration.


BIO-DATA

Etymology: Biodata is the short form for Biographical Data and is an archaic terminology for Resume or C.V.  This term is mostly used in India by people who started their careers back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. 

Nowadays, Biodata has a reference mostly in case of arranged (or love) marriages where parents ask for it from the other party.

In a bio data, the focus is on personal particulars like date of birth, gender, religion, race, nationality, residence, marital status, and the like. A chronological listing of education and experience comes after that but only to show what a person has done, it is not for the purpose of a job.

Biodata

• No limit on the pages

• Focus on Date and Time of Birth, gender, religion, race, nationality, residence, marital status

• Customised for the purpose of marriages

• Written in a first or third person tone

• Education & Experience: not mandatory

• Salary details: mandatory if using for matrimonial purposes 🙂
