    Number of applicants at fresher level are usually more than experienced professionals in companies, therefore, they should use Resume to get faster processing. But, freshers should use CV while applying for higher study, scientific, or R&D positions.
    And, CV is most accepted form of job application all over the world for experienced professionals. It is followed by a cover letter.
