Yes, you can send a resume instead of a CV, but it is important to understand that a resume and a CV serve different purposes. A resume is typically a brief summary of your qualifications, experience, and skills and is used to apply for most jobs in the United States and Canada.

A CV (curriculum vitae), on the other hand, is a longer document that provides a more comprehensive overview of your background, including academic and professional achievements, publications, awards, and other relevant information. It is commonly used when applying for academic, research, or scientific positions, or when seeking employment in certain countries such as Europe, Asia, or Africa.

Depending on the job you are applying for and the country in which the company is located, either a resume or a CV may be more appropriate.
