Hi,
I'd just like to add to what Kumar has explained -
CV is a chronological account of your career starting with your first degree to your current experience
Resume on the other hand, starts with your most recent experience and goes on to to the past
Eg - if you did your education betwwen 1998 - 2003 and worked since 2003 till date,
your CV will look like - 1998 - 2000, 2000 - 2001, 2001 - 2003, 2003 - 2005 and 2005 - till date
whereas your resume will look like - 2005 - till date, 2003 - 2005, 2001 - 2003, 2000 - 2001 and 1998 - 2000.
I hope i could help you

The primary differences between a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a page or two, a curriculum vitae is a longer (at least two page) and more detailed synopsis.
A curriculum vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers may expect to receive a curriculum vitae.
In the United States, a curriculum vitae is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.
