Are a resume and CV the same?

Yes, a resume and CV are the same in the UK and Europe. However, ‘CV’ is used most often in the UK and Europe, so you should refer to the document as your CV in emails with employers and recruiters.

Remember that ‘resume’ and ‘CV’ are not used interchangeably in the US — a resume is used for most jobs, whereas a CV is used to apply for academic jobs.
