A cv might be pages and pages and would list everything--education, publications, awards affiliations, service to the community etc.A resume is as short as it can be and still get across your fitness for whatever it is you want to do.
Resumes are subject to local conventions and local and international fads, too, so it's a good idea to check into the norms for the job you're considering. For example US privacy laws mean you should not include your social security number, your birth date or your marital status (3 things that used to be expected on a resume in Germany, I don't know if they still are).
Listing objectives was considered forward thinking about 20 years ago, now the people who do it tend to be those looking for a lower level administrative jobs. I have on-going discussions with a client about the way she should be using key words--I keep saying that describing yourself as a dynamic, results-oriented . . .anything may not get you past the automatic scanners any longer and certainly sounds stale.
