Resume vs CV
Almost all of you will say, what the heck, why two names for the same thing?
It is not real, in North America when you want to be considered for a job you send a Resume (besides Quebec where the name is CV but the meaning is still Resume). A description of your skills and your projects that are showing your experience and what you can offer to a possible employer.

In Europe you send out a CV (Curriculum Vitae) And this is a short description of your life, not only your professional skills and your projects but also what you have outside the workplace things like: driver license, number of children, age and much more.

That is the reason why I have both of them in the forum title. And also keep in mind if you want to apply for a job in Europe, you should use your CV here. If you apply for jobs in North America you should use your resume here.
These being said...
good luck in finding a job!
