The complete form of CV is Latin currency vitae. In the United States, CV is mainly used to apply for academic, educational and scientific research positions, or to apply for scholarships. Accurately speaking, CV should be a resume.
A resume is a resume. Resume summarizes the educational preparation and experience related to job hunting, and it is a summary of experience and skills. Its main purpose is to persuade employers to hire themselves. course
Vitae, on the other hand, focuses on academic work and ignores materials that are not directly related to education level and academic performance.
What is the relationship between resume of studying abroad and personal statement?

Personal statements can help the judges better understand the applicants and help them stand out from the same PS.
Complement each other and complement each other. The cases emphasized in the personal statement also need to be emphasized in the resume of studying abroad. You can't mistakenly think that the experiences you have already told in your personal statement don't need to be included in your resume, just write some unimportant remaining information in your resume. In addition, the resume of studying abroad can supplement the applicant's personal statement. Applicants can write down their experiences that they think are important but cannot be introduced in detail in their personal statements due to space limitations, so as to show the applicant's experience and background more comprehensively.
