First, a point on the personal section of the resume, then a point on CV v resume
If you are applying for a job in the US do NOT include birthdate, marital status, nationality, gender, etc...
EOE (equal opportunity employment) precludes the use of these items as hiring criteria. as such they should not be included on a resume. you should include name, address, phone, email, and URL where applicable. if you are a recent college grad (LT 2yrs) you may want to include your GPA, but that is also optional.
Point Two: Although the word resume and the phrase curriculum vitae have shared entomological roots, in practice they do serve the same purpose, but for two different groups of people, at least in the US anyway. CVs are generally reserved for academics...as a geek in an academic instituation I can safely say if I were to ask one of the professors here for their resume they would give me that one-eyebrow-arched-what-are-you-talking-about look and reply 'do you mean my CV?'. in fact, all of our faculty cv's are online. if you have written and published extensively, or hold patents, et al, you may be a candidate for a CV.
