Biodata vs. Resume
From the above definition of biodata, it seems difficult to differentiate it from a regular resume, yet there are specific distinctions between a biodata and a resume.
Resume is a French word that means extract or summary. Hence, a resume summarizes the facts about an individual’s personal information, such as educational background, hobbies and interests. It focuses on the most relevant and precise information that pertains to a certain job.
Biodata, on the other hand, focuses on personal information other than just the person’s education and career experience. It includes data that are usually not present on a resume, such as marital status, father’s name, birth date, gender, religion, race, and nationality. Some biodata can even include physical features, like eye color or body complexion.
