What is the difference between a Biodata, CV and Resume?

CV AND RESUME DIFFERENCE

Different formats are used in different job proposals, and knowing about all the formats is good.

Biodata:

Bio-data stands for Biographical data and is an archaic term for Resume or C.V. In a bio data, the focus is on personal particulars like date of birth, gender, religion, race, nationality, residence, marital status, and the like. A chronological listing of education and experience comes after that.

Unlike other formats, a biodata does not have much in terms of formatting and in most cases the format is provided by the institution. This makes it easy to collect data in very sequential manner but this format does not do much in the case of explaining the skills as it is not tailored according to the need of the company although it does prove ample amount of information about one’s skills and talents.

A biodata can range from about 1 page to 3 page depending on the quantity of information required by the institute.

C.V. (CURRICULUM VITAE):

Curriculum Vitae is a Latin word meaning “course of life”. It is more detailed than a resume, generally 2 to 3 pages, or even longer as per the requirement. This format is used when we want to describe our life’s activity in detail format. It covers general talent rather than specific skills for any specific positions.

A CV is generally used by college freshers or recent graduate seeking for the job. It can also be used by someone who is seeking a job change or someone who has not been in the industry for a long period of time. Although it is sort of a biography, there are certain rules to be followed to make sure that your CV is consistent with the general convention and trends used for writing the CV.

Resume:

Resume is a French word meaning “summary”. A resume is an outline or summary of one’s education, skills and employment. It does not list down all details of a profile, but showcases specific skills customized to the target job. It is thus usually 1 or at the max 2 pages long, written in the third person to give it an objective and formal tone.

Your resume must contain information in a condensed manner. Here you are required to provide only those skills and experiences that are relevant and essential for the job you have applied. You do not need to fill up everything that you may have in your arsenal of talent.

A good resume would start with a brief Profile of the candidate, Summary of Qualifications, followed by Industry Expertise and Professional Experience in reverse chronological order. Focus is on the most recent experiences, followed by responsibilities and accomplishments. Previous experiences are only presented as a summary. This would be followed by Education details and/or Professional Affiliations and/or Voluntary Initiatives.

How do Ants sense Food?

  S ugar has a slight odor, particularly granulated beet sugar. While all species of ants can differentiate between a wide variety of odors, the smelling range differs from a few centimeters to meters. Desert ants can smell sugar from up to 3 meters. the food sources that ants cannot smell from a distance they 'smell' it (contact chemoreception) by touching it. So in a way, all the food they detect, they detect it by smelling. So yes, ants smell (although contact chemoreception is more like taste) the sugar. The ant colonies send scout ants to search for food in various directions, often up to a range of 100 to 200 meters.(Depends on the territorial boundary and time of the year). The scout marches steadily in less circuitous paths initially if it has memories of previous feeder locations. (Ants use visual landmarks, and a stereo-smell system to create an odor map and navigate) Periodically it will halt and look for olfactory cues. It will then take into a more circuitous rando...

Earth's shine seems to be fading due to global warming as the oceans heat up

  In recent years, the climate change crisis has escalated to unprecedented levels, resulting in unimaginable and life-changing consequences. An acclaimed new study contends that global warming is dimming our planet, literally! Global warming is causing the Earth's brightness to decrease, according to a new study. Now you're probably wondering, "how do you even measure something like that?" But researchers have their ways. Keeping track of the Earth's shine requires them to calculate the Earth's 'albedo', or reflectance. The albedo is calculated utilizing something called the 'earthshine'. The crescent moon is most noticeable immediately after sunset or before sunrise, when its dazzling crescent gives way to a dark disc with a faint glow. A crescent moon's unlit parts are known as earthshine because they are glowing from the light reflected from the Earth. The study revealed that earthshine data over the last three years indicates that our ...
