Is the word currículo the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

No.

While the spelling, grammar, and core meanings of the word are identical in both variants, there is a difference in typical usage. In Brazil, "currículo" is the standard and most common term used to refer to a professional resume. In Portugal, while "currículo" is correct, it is much more natural and common to use the abbreviation "CV" (pronounced by naming the individual letters C-V) when speaking about a resume. Furthermore, the syntax surrounding the word differs: Brazilians frequently omit the definite article before possessives (e.g., "meu currículo"), whereas Portuguese speakers almost always include it (e.g., "o meu CV").
