How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

A video lesson by Adam on the difference between a resume and a CV, with the explanation written out below the video. It sets out how the two documents differ in length, in purpose and in the content expected, and when a job application or a university program calls for one rather than the other. A multiple-choice quiz with answers and a score follows.

How to use this resource:

You watch the video to hear the distinction explained with examples, then read the text below it to check what you took in. Decide which of the two documents the job or program you are applying to expects, and shape your own draft to the length and content described for it. The quiz confirms you can tell them apart before you send anything.
