It annoys me even though I’m still in the U.S.

Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:

    For everyone downvoting me, an American CV is different from a standard British CV or an American resume

      The person specifically mentioned academia, and CV are most often used in academia for jobs, grants, whatever. So the person you responded to is correct.

      An American résumé is a CV to the British.

      Yes, there are differences between the US and European variations, and people misusing the terms and not understanding the formats has further muddied the waters, so there’s nothing to be solved by debating it here. Anyone wishing to actually adhere to specific formats can google it themselves.

        Yeah, and I was pointing out that it isn’t just a terminology difference, which is what was being discussed here.
