I allocated this post to CV and Resume.

When you surf in a website in case of catching piece of information about Malaysia's universities, you may faced with these two.

For M.A. or P.H.D. registration writing CV and resume is essential, but some friend do not know anything about these two differences.even these sites didn't mention any useful points to explain the differences.

I will show you the differences here and explain which would be suitable for you.
At the end of this post we will have some useful points in writing CVs and resume.

whats a resume:

Resume is different from CV.  "Resume " is an English word which mean detailed synopsis ( a summery of your experiences).

Use of Resume:

Resume would write by those are going to apply for a job, it does not relate to educational registration.

As you see details should be mentioned include summery of skills, experiences and your education.
Its length should be 1 page up to 2 pages.

Notice: 

Not to explain more that enough,  for example if you had two years experience as welder just write worked as welder for 2 years, nothing more.

The resume reader will spend a minute or so reviewing your qualification.
For those has complex experiences, they can enclose one more paper include their purpose of writing CV or any extra necessary information.this paper called "cover letter".

What is CV ?

CV does stand for two English words "Curriculum Vitae"

What does Curriculum Vitae mean?

Curriculum refer to any educational, skills, researches experiences, thesis and so on.
