How to spell "resume" correctly (in Off-topic)

Is it acceptable to just type "resume" or is is more professional/accepted to use "résumé"? I've seen some pretty intense debates searching this topic and was just curious what you all prefer.

Everyone I know from the professional world spells it just "resume."

"Résumé" indeed.

"Résumé" indeed.

what the heck is the second one haha

Resume.

Otherwise, sometimes the formatting they see is messed up (like the 2 posts above) and it has "résumé". If that looks right, well, it's messed up for me.

I take it apostrophes dont work here. '''

oh wow, I just read my original post! It pasted here correctly, but I guess I have to use HTML for the symbol to post right :O

here's a link to one of the debates I talked about. The second one was supposed to have a line/accent over each "e"

nvm bonehead post.. i just usually see people online using re'sume' instead of the e's you can't normally get to work with whatever script jon is using.

Americans and their silly English :)

Everyone knows you should use proper English Latin and say, "Curriculum Vitae".

No, CB doesn't like accent marks.

Alt + 0233
Alt + 0232

That is the real way to spell it, unless you want to resume on your unfinished document, =P

the Alt + 0233 is the one you need for both 'e'

"Résumé" indeed.

I think for your situation this is better:

In the United States and Canada, a CV is used specifically in academic circles and medical careers and is far more comprehensive; the term résumé is used for most recruitment campaigns. A CV elaborates on education to a greater degree than a résumé and is expected to include a comprehensive listing of professional history including every term of employment, academic credential, publication, contribution or significant achievement. In certain professions, it may even include samples of the person's work and may run to many pages.

Thanks all. Bee, Ranger, I originally considered CV but a CV goes into much more depth than a resume. I think after I gain work experience the CV will be the way to go. Also, the offers listed said to send "resumes" I just rolled with that.

I recommend anyone finishing school or who might be future job hunting to grab a template, fill both a Cover Letter and Resume (up to current) and have them ready. Having these bad boys ready to go will save a lot of time and energy down the road if/when needed again.

It can't be that hard to write the word résumé, can't it? I mean, there are only 2 accents acute in it.

"Résumé" indeed.

bartjan, you are right, résumé is not hard to type at all.

résumé

The last advice I was given was not to bother putting either resume or CV at the top, on the basis that if it wasn't immediately apparent that that was what it was, you probably weren't going to get the job anyway. No idea how widespread this advice is, nor whether it holds up in practice, though.
