Eapp Resume

This document compares and contrasts resumes, CVs, and biodatas. It notes that resumes emphasize skills and are typically no more than 2 pages, while CVs emphasize academic accomplishments and include full publication lists. Both are tailored for specific positions. Biodatas focus more on personal details and less on skills or experience. Resumes are generally used for industry positions, while CVs are more for academia. The key differences are around length, level of detail, and focus on skills versus accomplishments.

Bio Data
Biodata is the short form for Biographical
Data and is an archaic terminology for Resume
or C.V. This term is mostly used in India by
people who started their careers back in the
60s, 70s, and 80s.
Bio Data
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 but only to show what a person has
done, it is not for the purpose of a job.
Bio Data
No limit on the pages
Focus on Date and Time of Birth, gender,
religion, race, nationality, residence, marital
status
Written in a first or third person tone
Education & Experience: not mandatory
To Summarize:
A resume would be ideally suited
when experience people apply for
specific positions where certain
specific skills are more important
than education.
To Summarize:
A CV, on the other hand should be the
preferred option for fresh graduates or
people looking for a career change. It could
also be used by people applying for academic
positions. or if specifically asked to apply
with a CV instead of a Resume.
To Summarize:
The term bio-data is mostly used in some South Asian
countries when people apply for government jobs, or
for research grants where one has to submit
descriptive essays. Bio Datas are not common in the
international markets where personal information like
age, gender, religion are not required to be submitted
by candidates.
