I don't really know the difference between the two but I think it is just the same.

The main difference between a resume and a curriculum vitae is that a resume is short and briefing of you and your qualities, it just gives the overview of you, while a curriculum vitae is the detailed listing of your qualification, experience, abilities, goals and achievements. I think for you it would be appropriate to submit your curriculum vitae. but if you go by the dictionary they are all the same.
