Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't think this is correct. Assuming you're American then a CV is the same as what you'd call a résumé. Unless a résumé is more like a cover letter (as in the intro paragraph where you summarise what you do and why you want the job)?

I agree about them basically being the same.

In America a resume is basically a slightly shortened CV. But from my experience (as someone who has lived and worked in IT in both the US and the UK) they are nearly identical. They both summarize your work history in almost identical styles. But the resume is preferably limited to 2 pages maximum, while a CV can be longer.

I don't recall ever having both a resume and a CV in the UK and initially applying with a resume and then bringing the longer CV to the interview. It was just a name and length expectation difference that separated them.

I've not ever heard of any company wanting you to bring an extra-long CV with you, though since everything is online now any long-established rules are basically out the window
