Are all aware of the difference between a Resume and a CV?

I read quite a few as part of my job, and have written 'a couple' as well.

A Resume is a max of two pages, with info directly relevant to the advertised or aspired position and personal details. A CV (Curiculum Vitae) is the whole works, and is usually reserved for positions requesting it or as an accompaniment to an interview, for the panel to browse through.

My Resume is one page, and my CV is 30 pages. I would never send a CV unless specifically requested.

Cheers.
