CV vs Resume
I've noticed a lot of people have been labeling their resumes Name_CV when they email them to me lately.
CV sounds so pretentious when there are no academic appointments/articles actually in the resume/CV.
Re: CV vs Resume
Please to expand on the positions/backgrounds of the people doing this. Are we talking admin and/or janitorial staff type positions?
that makes a bit of sense.

It was my understanding that attorneys were a profession that used CV's as the accepted document, rather than resumes, so that doesn't really shock me.
At one point my CV didn't have any publications in it, but I still used a CV because that's what was accepted for my profession.
That makes me think it's deliberate. I can see situations where an attorney would have a CV with pubs etc. rather than a resume, so I wonder if these folks saw more experienced and/or academic orientated attorneys using it and thought it sounded better.
I've always associated CV for academic positions and europeans. The resumes that i've been getting are from 4th tier law grads and are several pages long (which most CVs are)

That's probably because your industry is very international. Resume is very American.
I don't know that it's an attorney thing - working with recruiters in the US they want resumes and people elsewhere want CVs.
I think we've stumbled on the reason...

CVs and resumes are different. It sounds like they are sending a cv ( based on length alone so I am not sure) so they are appropriately labeling. I don't get the problem?
I prefer cvs. I hate making everything into bullet points. I'd rather lean more about a person. But I send resumes usually because Americans don't like to read lol.
It took me forever to get anyone to respond to my job search in London because I was sending out one page resumes. Finally someone who received my resume informed me. Now I think cvs are so much better. I get their POv. But whatever. I roll with whatever people want. I go with the flow. When hiring though, I also wish for more than a one page resumes where the applicant can pick ANC choose and just prove one bullet point per job.
I work in clinical research and we use both. CVs obviously make the most sense for physicians who are published, have specific trial experience, etc.
For me, probably not as much, but I go with it;)
