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.
