It annoys me even though I'm still in the U.S.
Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

They are the same thing.
Lots of things list them both with a slash showing then to be the same thing.
CV is more correct though.
They're definitely not the same thing even though they've been used interchangeably more and more.
A CV is a comprehensive overview of everything you've accomplished and can be fairly long in certain cases (I've seen CVs of specialized professionals or tenured professors that are close to 10 pages long).
On the other hand, a resume is a concise list of your relevant skills and experiences that should be tailored to the position you are applying to and should almost never be longer than 2 pages.
I don't know what to say.
This is just outright wrong. But you so confident about it I doubt anything I will say matters.
Every single person I have ever spoken to. From teachers in school, university advisors, parents, friends, family, HR staff, bosses, have said that a CV is no more than 3 pages. Almost always it is said to be 2, sometimes 1 is offered and very occasionally I have heard 3. But never more. Should always be tailored but I have heard people making generic enough ones that can be used for similar jobs.
I guarantee almost all job that specifically asks for a CV would throw out a 10 pager.
Unless you are talking about how things were in the 1800's this is just wrong. Which I doubt anyone got a job with more than a handshake before 1945.
Maybe things are different here in Canada but that's how I've always had it outlined. What you're describing would be called a resume here and not a CV. The intents of the two documents are not the same.
Most CVs that I've seen are usually closer to 3-5 pages but I've seen some that are ~10 pages.
