Word origin
Two etymologically related but pronounced-differently words: 'resume' the verb /rɪˈzuːm/ ('to continue') is from Latin resūmere ('to take back, take up again'), formed from re- ('again') + sūmere ('to take'). 'Résumé' the noun /ˈrɛzʊmeɪ/ ('CV') is borrowed directly from French résumé ('summary'), past participle of résumer ('to sum up'). Both ultimately Latin, but the noun came through French and kept the French pronunciation and accent marks.
Fun fact
The 'résumé' (with accent marks) is the proper French spelling, but in American English the accents are usually dropped — 'resume' the noun and 'resume' the verb end up spelled identically. This makes the page-context the only way to know which pronunciation to use: a job site asks for your /ˈrɛzʊmeɪ/, not your /rɪˈzuːm/. Spelling 'résumé' with accents avoids the ambiguity, which is why career counselors recommend it.
