The document discusses the differences between a resume, CV, and bio-data. A resume is a one-page summary of relevant skills and experience for a specific job, while a CV provides more comprehensive details about one's education and career over multiple pages. A bio-data focuses more on personal details and a chronological listing of education and experience, typically used for government or research applications.

formal.

brief Summary of
Qualifications, followed by
Areas of Strength or Industry
Expertise in keywords, followed
by Professional Experience in
reverse chronological order.

prior experiences summarized.

the like.

and experience.

found in a resume, that
is specific skills for the
job in question comes
last, and are seldom
included.
 Bio-data also includes
applications made in
specified formats as
required by the
company.

 A resume is ideally suited when applying for
middle and senior level positions, where
experience and specific skills rather than
education is important.

option for fresh graduates, people looking for
a career change, and those applying for
academic positions.
