Which Do You Prefer to Submit -- a CV or a Resume When Applying a Job

I don’t care which style I should use – for me those important info about me should be included in my resume. My resume is a mixture of American and British styles. How about yours? For American style it is called Resume and for British style it is called CV or Curriculum Vitae.

Looking for some samples, I spotted that not all the information written on CV and Resume are the same. On a British CV, it is usual to put your date of birth. On an American resume you may choose whether or not to include your birth date, marital status, children and etc.

In American style – an applicant will feed his resume with the following information such as: his name

• his contact address
• his contact telephone
• his email address
• his marital status
• his children (number)
• his objective
• his attended education
• his work experiences
• his languages
• his personal interests
• his references (people)
• 
  

Can you spot the difference between a CV and a Resume?

In British style – an applicant will feed his CV with the following information such as:

• his name
• his contact address
• his contact telephone
• his nationality
• his marital status
• his education and qualifications
• his employment to date
• his skills
• his interests
• 
  

Styles do not matter – an applicant can choose either the American style or the British style to submit when applying a job.
