A resumé is telling a potential employer what you can do. A CV is you showing a potential employer what you have done. To use an entertainment analogy, if someone were casting for a new part in a film a resumé is the equivalent of the actor showing up and talking about how their experience in this film and that play gives them the background to play the part. A CV is the equivalent of the actor showing up and listing the awards they've won and the glowing reviews they've received.
