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?

A curriculum vitae (CV) is specifically for academia. It’s much more detailed than a resume. Essentially it’s your entire professional history: publications, invited talks, grants, education and certifications. It can include descriptions of your research interests. It might also list students you advised.

The CV of a mid-career professor or researcher can easily be 10+ pages long. A resume is typically much more curated and only 1-2 pages maximum.

To complicate things, this is US terminology and a CV on other places can look like a US resume
