| Curriculum vitae - definition of Curriculum vitae in Encyclopedia (609 words) |
 | A résumé (in North American English; also sometimes spelled resumé or resume) or curriculum vitae (in Commonwealth English; sometimes abbreviated to CV) is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, usually for the purpose of securing a new job. |
| 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. |
| The word résumé is directly from French and means "summary" (but the French never use it with the same meaning as Americans and Canadians; they say CV). |
