Have you check on the Internet? I have found many good examples out there. Also, look in books on the subject- you can probably find one.
Also, why do you need a CV? What field are you going into.

I think that in some countries, fresh grads use a CV instead of a resume, even for non-academic jobs.

CV == Resume
At least for most of the world. The US seems to be the only ones who consider a CV to be a specialization of the resume, geared primarily towards academia.

Exactly.Me too considers that both are same.But from now I think two terms are different.Anyway, am looking for a model Resume.
I have searched many web sites & think there are lots of Model Rsume but of different format.I am confused whcih one to select.
Secondly, the logo whcih I got due to SCJP 2 Certification, does I dispathch on my resume?.
Plz. Help.

There is no "best" resume format. Your choice will depend on what you are showcasing. Resumes that focus on work experience will look different than those that focus on academics. There is also personal preference choices to be made about the look and feel. You should also attempt to cusmtomize your resume based on the job that you are applying for if you get the chance.
My suggestion is to take a few resumes that you like and adapt them to suit you. Once you have given your resume the once or twice over, post it up here for us to critique.

When I got my SCJP logo agreement a few years back, Sun explicitly forbid the use of the logo on resumes. That may have changed, I honestly don't know, you will have to check for yourself.

Hi,
Thanx for all of your suggestions.I have seen some Resume on net.I hope i can build my one easily.
Bye,
Viki.

Resume is half-page and CV may be 30 pages (detailed, auto-biography). You may even put resume as an abstract, intro to such CV

Like I said, the majority of the world considers a CV and a Resume to be equivalent. The US is the only country that seems to make a distinction. Therefore, the majority of people posting CV questions are actually asking about what you know as a Resume.

In Europe you may be asked CV, detailed CV, very detailed CV
