Difference between CV, Resume and Bio Data

People use the words RESUME, C.V., and BIO-DATA interchangeably for the document highlighting skills, education, and experience that a candidate submits when applying for a job. On the surface level, all the three mean the same. However, there are intricate differences.

RESUME

Resume is a French word meaning "summary", and true to the word meaning, signifies a summary of one's employment, education, and other skills, used in applying for a new position. A resume seldom exceeds one side of an A4 sheet, and at the most two sides. They do not list out all the education and qualifications, but only highlight specific skills customized to target the job profile in question.

A resume is usually broken into bullets and written in the third person to appear objective and formal. A good resume starts with a brief Summary of Qualifications, followed by Areas of Strength or Industry Expertise in keywords, followed by Professional Experience in reverse chronological order. Focus is on the most recent experiences, and prior experiences summarized. The content aims at providing the reader a balance of responsibilities and accomplishments for each position. After Work experience come Professional Affiliations, Computer Skills, and Education.

C.V CURRICULUM VITAE

C.V is a Latin word meaning "course of life". Curriculum Vitae (C.V.) is therefore a regular or particular course of study pertaining to education and life. A CV is more detailed than a resume, usually 2 to 3 pages, but can run even longer as per the requirement. A CV generally lists out every skills, jobs, degrees, and professional affiliations the applicant has acquired, usually in chronological order. A CV displays general talent rather than specific skills for any specific positions.

BIO DATA

Bio Data the short form for Biographical Data, is the old-fashioned terminology for Resume or C.V. The emphasis in a bio data is on personal particulars like date of birth, religion, sex, race, nationality, residence, martial status, and the like. Next comes a chronological listing of education and experience. The things normally found in a resume, that is specific skills for the job in question comes last, and are seldom included. Bio-data also includes applications made in specified formats as required by the company.

A resume is ideally suited when applying for middle and senior level positions, where experience and specific skills rather than education is important. A C.V., on the other hand is the preferred option for fresh graduates, people looking for a career change, and those applying for academic positions. The term bio-data is mostly used in India while applying to government jobs, or when applying for research grants and other situations where one has to submit descriptive essays.

Resumes present a summary of highlights and allow the prospective employer to scan through the document visually or electronically, to see if your skills match their available positions. A good resume can do that very effectively, while a C.V. cannot. A bio-data could still perform this role, especially if the format happens to be the one recommended by the employer. Personal information such as age, sex, religion and others, and hobbies are never mentioned in a resume. Many people include such particulars in the C.V. However, this is neither required nor considered in the US market. A Bio-data, on the other hand always include such personal particulars.

Motivation & Influencing Others - An Insight!

• Motivation & Human Relations

One can buy man's time, his physical efforts, but not his enthusiasm, initiative or loyalty. Thus enthusiasm or willingness to work can be created by motivation. Motivation is the action that impels or urges an individual to assume an attitude generally favourable  towards his work leading him to perform satisfactorily.

           Knowledge X Skill = Ability
          Situation X Attitude = Motivation
          Ability X Motivation = Human Performance
          Human Performance X Physical factors = Business Performance

Best motivation is self motivation.  Yoga & Meditation are simple ways of achieving the same.  7 Habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey is encompassed in 1 Shloka of Geeta.

          YOGA=Your Own Guru Always

• Happiness/Unhappiness is nothing but a state of mind.
• Our breathing changes every 90 mins(First 90 mins right nostril, then 90 mins left nostril and then 90 mins both nostrils) With every change in 90 mins cycle, our mood changes. Hence DO IT NOW...coz after 90 mins. your mood will definitely change.
• Health consciousness is first step towards motivation.
• For a successful and motivated person and organisation, FOUR factors must exist:

1. Fire in the belly
2. Warmth in the heart
3. Smile on the face
4. Spark in the head

• The climate of each department affects entire organisational culture.
• Create your own environment wherever you go.
• Anger results due to self discontent.
• Learn to say NO
• Remember- Mind is the invisible body, Body is the visible mind.

• There are THREE types of people:

1. Passive: They tolerate, are soft spoken or hardly speak at all.
2. Aggressive: Short tempered, believe in Right here right  now attitude.
3. Assertive: Believe in doing right thing right way with right person. Are courteous & respectful

Retirement Planning!! - An insight

Retirement. Like most people, your response to this will be `I still have time for it´! All you foresee is that this will be your opportunity to spend quality time with family and grand kids, play golf on weekdays, long walks by the sea, and so on. But as retirement approaches, one comes across the stark reality of sustaining their lifestyle without a steady stream of income - with steep medical costs, taxes, inflation and the rising cost of living. When it comes to planning for retirement, most of us start thinking of it just a few years ahead of the `R-Day´. The truth is, you need to start today! Ideally one needs to start saving from the day one starts earning. This helps your savings grow and multiply through the power of compounding. One key component of retirement planning is arriving at the savings one should have to cater to all of these future expenses. You can arrive at an estimate through the following steps.

Step 1: Think of lifestyle you would like to maintain post retirement. Step 2: Prepare a monthly budget that lists down what you spend on necessities today so that this would help you in calculating your future annual expenditure. Step 3: Account for inflation keeping a rough estimate of 7-8 per cent inflation every year. Step 4: Provision for expenses that are likely to increase to increase in the future, such as medical expenses. Step 5: Provision for expenses that may cease to exist, such as repayment on a home loan, your children's education expenses, etc. While there are many ways that one can save; pension plans from life insurance companies are amongst the best suited investment vehicles for this purpose.

How Do Pension Plans Work Pension plans from life insurance companies are structured in a way that they: Help create a corpus in the long term through your regular premium payments Offer tax benefits on savings Create a tax free lump sum to withdraw from Provision for a monthly annuity that acts as a regular income stream These also help meet the dual purpose of safeguarding the interest of your financial dependents and create a retirement corpus. Conclusion : Retirement can and will be an enjoyable time, in the sunset of your life, only if you plan for it today. It´s never too late to start planning, evaluating investment options, making disciplined investments and make the best use of your working years.  Courtesy: MNYL

As the old joke goes: When your neighbour loses his job, it's called an economic slowdown. When you lose job, it is a recession. But when an economist loses his job, it becomes depression.

The Eagle-an interesting, beautiful story!

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.
A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes.
It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

When it rains, most birds head for shelter; the eagle is the only bird that, in order to avoid the rain, starts flying above the cloud.

Tiger Temple @ Thailand !....

This is extraordinary…  The tiger temple in thailand is a place where an extraordinary bond between man and the world's biggest cats has been formed. The tigers here are so peaceful…its almost as if they have accepted buddhism as their religion. In fact, they even sit for the meditating sessions with the monks and kneel down in front of them as it they are the gurus. The tigers are so docile that the monks have to sometimes train them to fight otherwise they would lose all their power of self protection.  The link started in 1999 when a sick baby tiger, orphaned after poachers shot its mother, was brought to the monks. Within a few years several other tiger cubs similarly orphaned by poachers had arrived. The most amazing thing is none of the cubs turned out ferocious on growing up. The monks believe that these tigers are none other than the former buddhist disciples who have taken rebirth in the same place.    A paradise for tiger lovers !
