Developing a Buzz:Resume and CV

Overview

 * "A résumé (in North American English; often spelled resumé or resume; known as a curriculum vitae in Commonwealth English and in the academic fields in the United States; sometimes abbreviated to CV) is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, usually for the purpose of obtaining an interview when seeking employment. Often the résumé is the first item a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker, and therefore a large amount of importance is often ascribed to it."
