Does it bother anyone else that resume and cv are used interchangeably now? They are not the same thing, and no, you do not look more intelligent calling your resume a cv.

I dunno why you're being downvoted, but could you explain the differences, please?

The other commenter covered it, didn't get there in time. People are probably downvoting me because they likely use cv this way. Additionally, some may think I'm in academia and being elitist, though I'm a college dropout who, until recently, was a cook. I just believe words have meaning.
