According to wikipedia, its curricula vitae but the first line under External links is A useful article from a top jobsite on the major reasons why CVs get dumped.

	Clive  #251038  Tue, 01 Aug 06 03:18 AM Hi guys, Where I live, people who have CVs are usually academics, people in the arts, professional people, that kind of thing. Most people, who are more ordinary employees, speak of their resumes, and use that as the title at the top of their first page. Job ads usually say 'Please submit your resume to . . .'
