In most contexts, a résumé is short (usually one page), and therefore contains only experience directly relevant to the particular position, using the precise keywords that the potential new employers are looking for, being self-aggrandizing, and containing many action words. Other résumés may run to more than one page, but very rarely more than two, as potential employers will typically not give that much time to read for each applicant.
Other forms
An exception is an artist's résumé, which may run longer as it will contain a list of solo and group exhibitions (and will typically exclude any non-art-related employment) which may be more or less extensive.
Outside the United States, a résumé is called a curriculum vitae or CV, while in America CV generally refers to a longer version of a resume, containing all past job experience, education (including theses titles), and often a list of publications.
