No, there aren't too many differences, but for a more detailed answer, see [url]http://www.thecvstore.net/resume-writing/cv-resume-difference.htm[/url]

Thanks for the link. I know some people who have more than one version of their CV or resume, tailored to fit different areas of work.

What do you think of that approach?

Different CVs for different jobs is a very good idea - especially if your experience is broad.

I'm looking for part time work at the moment, and I use a very customer service focused CV to apply for typical 'part timer' jobs like tech support / call center work. If I was looking for a full time job in my normal IT field, I'd use a more techy CV.

If you apply for call center work with a CV that makes you sound very qualified - most people will assume you're over qualified and won't stick around.

CV's and Resume's are of different kind. Based on my own experience, I've got more chances of getting the job that best fits for me if used CV. It's simply because CV is more prefessional. Applicant details are specified. Etali is right. Calling centers like CV's compared to resume's.
