Ok, guys! Many of us staffing and executive search firms differentiate
between cv and resume this way:  curators, scholars, academics usually have
a cv -- it emphasizes degrees, lectures, scholarly publications and the
like.  Resumes can contain this information, too, but we would probably use
resume for most other positions -- Development Director, Public Relations
Coordinator, Registrar, etc.  Amen.  Cheers!
