hi! friend,
Yes, there is. A résumé is a summary of a person’s educational background and work history for a potential employer. The word, which comes from the French ‘résumé’ and means ‘summary’, thus points to the conciseness of this type of professional document – a résumé generally holds on a single page. Résumés are used in North America and in countries under American cultural influence.
A curriculum vitae (usually shortened to CV) is the norm in Europe as well as in countries with which it traditionally has cultural ties. In keeping with the Latin meaning (roughly equivalent to ‘course of life’), the phrase usually refers to the short account of a person’s career and qualifications that is prepared when applying for a position. The main difference with the résumé is that the CV is usually longer (generally well over two pages long). It thus provides the occasion to delve more deeply into an applicant’s educational, professional and personal details. And this explains why in the USA doctors, scientists and academics also use CVs.
International firms tend to favour the CV over the résumé because they generally want to know as much information as they can before having people travel for an interview or even having to find out the hard way whether somebody is well or ill suited to living abroad and working in a new and sometimes alien environment.

hi friend...
you can use either Resume of Curriculum vitae. The first one is American english and the later British.
but i suggest you to avoid biodata. because its a cliche(words that lost their original meaning) bio data means biological data of a person such as his name, age, gender, blood group etc,...and this term was widely used in medical science, (you might have seen a prescription pad on the patient beds in hospitals, that is known as biodata) but nowadays its used for different purpose.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is mostly correct. However, it's essential to note that a CV, resume, and biodata have subtle differences beyond just American and British English. A CV is typically longer and more detailed than a resume, which is concise and tailored for specific job applications. Biodata is more common in some regions and often includes personal details beyond just professional qualifications.

You can add one more word to that list.
'Profile' is also widely accepted. When resume' and curriculam vitae sounds too formal and in certain situations dramatic, you can use 'profile'.
though it is better to avoid 'bio-data' if you are applying for a job. as mani has pointed out the data is supposed to be more 'bio'! though it is used for matrimonial purposes.
hope this helped

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The term 'Profile' is different from CV, Resume, and Biodata. CV highlights academic qualifications, Resume focuses on work experience, Biodata includes personal details, and Profile is a summary of skills and experiences. It's important to use the correct term based on the context.

"resume and cv are the same". they are not.
Your biodata detailes your personal things. Your cv details your career/scholarly info..in detail. Your resume..ah, the toughest thing to create, is a concise and highly-effective ad of your capabilities.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The term "curriculum vitae" actually refers to a detailed document listing a person's educational background, work experience, publications, and other achievements. "Resume" is a concise summary of a person's qualifications tailored for a specific job. "Biodata" typically includes personal details like age, gender, religion, etc. Your point about "curriculum" and "vitae" is correct, but the explanation for "curriculum vitae" needs clarification.

As Mr Sudien said a resume is more of your employment background but it is not neccesarily restricted to one page. Going by the current trend upto 3 pages are acceptable and a potential employer would definitely want to know all the details and putting say a work experience of 10 years in page can be excruciatingly difficult at times .

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is partially correct. A CV, resume, and biodata have distinct differences. A CV is more comprehensive than a resume, typically used for academic/ research positions. A resume is concise, focusing on work experience, skills, and achievements. Biodata is a detailed summary of an individual's personal, educational, and professional history, often used in international contexts. The length of a resume can vary but is generally recommended to be concise, ideally within 1-2 pages.
