Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/履歷 vs 简历
résumé · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 履歷; on the Mainland it is 简历 - both point at “résumé”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 履歷、簡歷 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
履歷 is L5 vocabulary on the TOCFL 华语八千词 list; 简历 is HSK 4 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
