BelMarduk asks: do you ever use Curriculum Vitae instead of resumé? bel, I used it in Brazil!  But in the US, I've only seen it used in academic/professional (like doctors) circles. And some academic folks I know have both: the CV describes their education and publications, and the résumé their job experience.

I maintain both a resume and a CV. My resume is a very terse, compiled version documenting primarily my education and work experience. My CV is a much longer document detailing all recent publications, presentations, and special achievements. (all this is the US)
I use my resume for professional and business situations. I reserve my CV for collegiate, academic, and governmental situations.
Many of my friends and associates also use the two in similar fashion. I suppose we ride the fence of the two groups.

Some job hunting book I was reading pointed out that there are differences between resume (note that most publications leave off the accents) and C. V. (as Brandon pointed out), and they should not be used interchangeably, but often are, resulting in confusion for job applicants. (Does the employer really want to see your C. V. when you apply for a job at a gas station?) I think that's one of those distinctions that will soon be lost, especially if, for example, the anglos in Québec use only C. V.
