*Difference between Resume, C.V. and Bio Data*
=***************************=
*RESUME*
Resume
is a French word meaning "summary". A resume is ideally a summary of
one's education, skills and employment when applying for a new job. A
resume does not list out all details of a profile, but only some
specific skills customized to the target job profile. It thus, is
usually 1 or at the max 2 pages long. A resume is usually written in the
third person to give it an objective and formal tone.

*C.V. - CURRICULUM VITAE*
Curriculum
Vitae is a Latin word meaning "course of life". It is more detailed
than a resume, generally 2 to 3 pages, or even longer as per the
requirement. A C.V. lists out every skill, all the jobs and positions
held, degrees, professional affiliations the applicant has acquired, and
in chronological order. A C.V. is used to highlight the general talent
of the candidate rather than specific skills for a specific position.
=***************************=
*BIO-DATA*
Bio
Data is the short form for Biographical Data and is an archaic
terminology for Resume or C.V. 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.
