Yes, this is what the rest of the world calls a resume.

In contrast, a CV is a fairly detailed overview of your life’s accomplishments, especially those most relevant to the realm of academia.
In my experience most job seekers write resumes, but someone applying as a professional (doctor, etc.) or academic is expected to provide a CV.

In Mexico and many other countries they do not use the term resume. However I was unaware of this distinction in the US. Thank you. - gringojrf, Apr 24, 2014
Yes, I was answering what I interpreted as a question purely about English, not one about Spanish. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 24, 2014

I have always understood that ones C V is a copy of ones academic achievements ,
whereas a resume is an overview of what one is capable of doing and has done ,
it is used in conjunction with the C V.
