A resume provides a summary of your education, work history,
credentials, and other accomplishments and skills. A resume should be as concise as possible. Typically, a resume is one page long, although sometimes it can be as long as two pages. Like a resume, a curriculum vitae (CV) provides a summary of ones experience and skills. Typically, CVs are longer than resumes - at least two or three pages. CVs include information on ones academic background, including teaching experience, degrees, research, awards, publications, presentations, and other achievements. CVs are thus much longer than resumes, and include more information, particularly related to academic background. Bio Datas are not common in the international markets where personal information like age, gender, religion are not required to be submitted by candidates. In a bio data, the focus is on personal particulars like date of birth, gender, religion, race, nationality, residence, marital status, and the like. A chronological listing of education and experience comes after that.
