Difference among CV, Resume and Bio-Data

People use the words RESUME, C.V., and BIO-DATA interchangeably for the document highlighting skills, education, and experience that a candidate submits when applying for a job. On the surface level, all the three mean the same.
 However, there are intricate differences.




RESUME
Resume Is a French word meaning "summary", and true to the word meaning, signifies a summary of one's employment, education, and other skills, used in applying for a new position.
A resume seldom exceeds one side of an A4 sheet, and at the most two sides.
They do not list out all the education and qualifications, but only highlight specific skills customized to target the job profile in question.

A resume is usually broken into bullets and written in the third person to appear objective and formal.
A good resume starts with a brief Summary of Qualifications, followed by Areas of Strength or Industry Expertise in keywords, followed by Professional Experience in reverse chronological order.
 Focus is on the most recent experiences, and prior experiences summarized.
 The content aims at providing the reader a balance of  esponsibilities and accomplishments for each position.
 After Work experience come Professional Affiliations, Computer Skills, and Education.




C.V CURRICULUM VITAE
C.V Is a Latin word meaning "course of life". Curriculum Vitae (C.V.) is therefore a regular or particular course of study pertaining to education and life.
A C.V. is more detailed than a resume, usually 2 to 3 pages, but can run even longer as per the requirement.
A C.V. generally lists out every skills, jobs, degrees, and professional affiliations the applicant has acquired, usually in chronological order.




BIO-DATA 
Bio Data the short form for Biographical Data, is the old-fashioned terminology for Resume or C.V.
 The emphasis in a bio data is on personal particulars like date of birth, religion, sex, race, nationality, residence, martial status, and the like.
Next comes a chronological listing of education and experience.
The things normally found in a resume, that is specific skills for the job in question comes last, and are seldom included. Bio-data also includes applications made in specified formats as required by the company.
A C.V. displays general talent rather than specific skills for any specific positions.

A resume is ideally suited when applying for middle and senior level positions, where experience and specific skills rather than education is important.
A C.V., on the other hand is the preferred option for fresh graduates, people looking for a career change, and those applying for academic positions.
 The term bio-data is mostly used in India while applying to government jobs, or when applying for research grants and other situations where one has to submit descriptive essays.

Resumes present a summary of highlights and allow the prospective employer to scan through the document visually or electronically, to see if your skills match their available positions.
A good resume can do that very effectively, while a C.V. cannot.
A bio-data could still perform this role, especially if the format happens to be the one recommended by the employer.

Personal information such as age, sex, religion and others, and hobbies are never mentioned in a resume.
Many people include such particulars in the C.V.
However, this is neither required nor considered in the US market.
 A Bio-data, on the other hand always include such personal particulars.

Things That Your Resume Should Never Say








Using the wrong words in your CV might deter a recruiter from selecting you, no matter how qualified you are. Wrong or negative words and phrases in your CV lead to misunderstanding in the mind of the recruiter.





1) Responsible

Saying that you were ‘responsible’ for something will not get you the recruiter’s attention. The employer is more concerned with how you used this responsibility to contribute to organizational goals. The recruiter wants to see the effort you put in and the final outcome. Mentioning your achievements will add weight to your CV.

2) Fail

The word ‘fail’ is perhaps the most negative word that you can put in your CV. Your CV must be about your achievements, not your shortcomings. Discuss such issues only if asked.
