OK, I know... I know... misleading title line...
When applying for a job in Aus, is the term for the tissue of lies...
sorry 'accurate statement of one's past career' that you submit, a
'Curriculum Vitae' (as in UK) or the US prefered 'Resumé'... or
something totally different?

I'm out of date, and can probably be ignored with safety, but I
reckon it's "CV". Probably one of the areas in which Australia hasn't
cringed to America to prove it isn't cringing to Mother.

Thanks Cob'.
Those e acutes are getting bad again... 'resumi'? Didn't I have a
plate of that as dessert in an Italian restaurant once?
Anybody know why this is happening? Everytime I paste what I think is
the last character of cafe (e with an accent) it comes back as an 'i'...

Both are used.
They may work differently for different audiences. If you were after a
public service or an academic job, spelling it out "curriculum vitae"
was, in my experience, normal. "Résumé" is used in the trades.
"Aussie Rules" is now Totally Officially termed "AFL". I don't like
this, the AFL is a competition not the game, dammit.

Before their merger in 1970, there were two professional football
leagues in the US, the National Football League and the American
Football League. There is now only the NFL, with two "conferences",
National and American. Before the merger, the American Football
League was known, naturally, as the AFL. Now it's the AFC. Feh!
There's now a game in the US called "arena football." It's played
indoors on a field that approximates a hockey rink in size, with some
changes in the rules to accommodate the setting. The league is called
the "Arena Football League," and in the last couple of years they've
taken to referring to themselves as the AFL. Those of us who remember
the *real* AFL of the New York Titans, Dallas Texans, Los Angeles
Chargers, Oakland Senors and the rest resent the hell out of the
cheapening of this glorious initialism by the Arena Football League
(for God's sake).
And now the Aussies have appropriated it. Is nothing sacred?

But a CV and a résumé are two different things. They
have different names to distinguish one from the other. |

I posted about this several years ago. When I went to Google Groups
to find my own post, I searched the phrase /oakland senors/ and found
several other posts covering the same ground. Oakland was the last
franchise admitted to the original AFL, almost an expansion team even
though it was formed in the league's first year. They held a contest
for a name, and somehow "Senors" won. They changed it to Raiders
before the season began, but it's still an in-joke among
long-LONG-time Bay Area sports fans.
If you need more, try Google Groups. And there's more on regular
Google.
Can you imagine what an authentic Oakland Senors jersey (if one
existed and could be authenticated) would be worth?

Very clever, Tootsie, but for most of its existence the union went by
"AFofL." They obviously anticipated the football league and didn't
want to preclude its use of "AFL."

OK!
Squillions of 'em, but they keep changing them.
I see now they are trying to emulate cricket and are calling them
"Laws".
