Resume V/S Curriculum Vitae

What Is The Difference Between A Cv And A Résumé?

The term curriculum vitae (plural: curricula vitae) comes from a Latin phrase that means ‘the course of one’s life’—a CV describes the course of your academic and professional life to a prospective employer. The term ‘curriculum vitae’ refers to a more comprehensive document used in careers related to academics and the sciences. (A CV lists in detail one’s educational qualifications, positions held, publications, professional achievements and awards).

A résumé is concise (1-2 pages) and mentions only those specific details relevant to the job being applied for.

Since the two terms are, for the most part, used interchangeably in India, the guidelines and formats given below are applicable to -whether you are asked to write a CV or a résumé.

E-mail Etiquette

Email is one of the most popular means of communication today, especially in official and work related contexts.

• Always keep the reader in mind. This helps you use the appropriate tone and language in your writing.
• If you send an e-mail to a set of several people regularly, you should create mailing groups so that the recipients do not need to scroll through names before they can get to the content of the e-mail.
• The ‘Subject’ line must give a clear idea of the content of your message. Do not skip the subject line.
• Use bullet points and/or sub-headings, if possible. These could make your message easier to read and faster to scan through.
• Do not type in all caps: it is the digital equivalent of yelling at the reader. Be sparing with exclamation marks in formal e-mails.
• Take the time to proofread your e-mail (and the attachments) before you send it.

Sample E-Mail:

Send an e-mail to the Principal of your College to request him to open a first aid room in your college. Send a copy of this e-mail to the Vice Principal and a blind copy to the Secretary of the college committee.

Subject: To open a first aid room in the college

Respected Sir,

We the students of CMREC, Hyderabad are facing many problems as there is no first aid room in our college. Students who are getting injured during the sports hour and those who meet with minor accidents are suffering due to lack of medical aid.

Hence we request you to kindly arrange a medical aid room in our college at the earliest.

Thanking you Sir,

Yours obediently, Students of CMREC, Hyderabad.
