By saying that I didn’t realize it was different in Europe. Often when we (Canada) do something different than the US, it’s because it’s closer to how it’s done in Europe and I assumed this was one of those cases.

I’m planning on looking into this more when I have some free time as I’d like to understand where our approach to both documents came from.

Maybe things are different here in Canada but that’s how I’ve always had it outlined. What you’re describing would be called a resume here and not a CV. The intents of the two documents are not the same.

Most CVs that I’ve seen are usually closer to 3-5 pages but I’ve seen some that are ~10 pages.

Not traditionally. A CV should contain essentially everything whereas the resume is tailored to the specific position.

CVs are much more common for academic positions but I’ve also seen them required for very specialized roles.

They’re definitely not the same thing even though they’ve been used interchangeably more and more.

A CV is a comprehensive overview of everything you’ve accomplished and can be fairly long in certain cases (I’ve seen CVs of specialized professionals or tenured professors that are close to 10 pages long).

On the other hand, a resume is a concise list of your relevant skills and experiences that should be tailored to the position you are applying to and should almost never be longer than 2 pages.

Yes, it’s one of the main use cases.

“You can use digiKam’s import capabilities to easily transfer photos, raw files, and videos directly from your camera and external storage devices (SD cards, USB disks, etc.). The application allows you to configure import settings and rules that process and organize imported items on-the-fly.”

Definitely nothing wrong with that!!

What made you go with a custom solution instead of something like home assistant?

That’s exactly what happened for me. I used to be a mod for a bunch of subreddits (including some fairly popular ones) but I realized I just didn’t really enjoy it anymore. Which is a shame because I’ve started and maintained a lot of communities over the years but being a Reddit mod just killed that for me.
