  1. What they mean is that they wish to update their Curriculum Vitae.


  2. edit it.

  3. As the word - resume- is of French origin, it is pronounced as the French would pronounce it. As English is an ever growing language we adopt words from other languages and generally pronounce them as that country would pronounce it

  4. The word 'resume' is usually written with an acute accent over both 'e's, as it's originally a French word - hence pronouncing it 'a' instead of 'e'.
