Difference between CV, Resume and Bio data

In general thinking the meaning of word, Resume,CV
and Biodata are same. So nobody care using of any
word when they are applyig for a job. But these
three words are different with different job
category. One must aware of using these word to
avoid negative impression to the interviewer.
Resume,CV and Biodata are the proverbial foot in
the door. Done correctly, it can give you the
opportunity to move beyond.
RESUME
Resume means "SUMMARY" in which one document
background and skillset details for an employment.
A simple resume may not longer than two or three
pages of size A4. A good Resume may contain
academic and professional qualifications,
professional and voluntary
experiences,achievements,acomplishments etc.
Most applicants just highlight the experiences and
the skillsets with project works in the resume.
There are generally two types of resume
(i) Reverse chronological resume, the work
experience is sorted chronologically on basis of
number of years served in an organization. And
(ii) Functional resume, the main focus is given on
the require skill sets for an organization.
Resume is more applicable for middle and senior
level job where experiences and skill sets get more
preference than acedemic qualifications.
CV (CURRICULUM VITAE)
CV means "course of life" i.e; the course of one's
life. A curriculum vitae is more specifically focused
on academic achievements than resume. CV's are
longer than resume as it more emphasis on
completeness of one details. A CV documents
career objective,educational and academic
details,technical skilsets,strengths and
weaknesses,academic honours and awards etc. A
curriculum vitae should always be accompanied by
a cover letter. A CV is preferred option for fresh
graduates, people looking for a career change, and
those applying for academic positions.
BIODATA
Biodata means "Biographical data" is defined as
one's life and work experiences. The main focus on
personal attributes like date of birth, religion, sex,
race, nationality, PAN, passport, permanent and
temporary residence, martial status, hobbies,
height, weight, hair/skin/eye color, and a photo etc.
One can not expect to predict all future behaviours
from Biographical information, but it helps in
individual selection in that it can give an image of
most likely future behaviours based on an
individual’s prior learning history. Biodata is
generally used in south asia like
India,Pakisatan,Bangladesh etc. In India biodata is
used for defence jobs,government jobs, or when
applying for research grants etc.
