Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British?

I’m not from either place.

I was under the impression that a CV and a resume are different things. A CV is a general compilation of all things you’ve done, and a resume is a curated list used for applying to jobs.

I do know that they’re used interchangeably for the most part, but this is how I was explained the difference in practice.

No, they are the same thing.

  Oh. Okay. So just different words? Like sidewalk & footpath?

    Some people say that a resume is a shorter CV. But even a CV should only include the things relevant to the task you’re using for.

They seem to be used interchangeably in the UK at the jobs I’m applying for, but what I have is definitely CV and not resume.
