The basic difference between an argument and a persuasion is that for an persuasion you have a personal opinion and try to convince someone else of it by stating different supporting points. Whereas in an argument you look at both sides, so arguments that speak for and ones that speak against it. Your not quite sure which side is right.
A CV or a resume is an argument as you state your personal strengths in them and try to convince another person of them and lets say hire you.

That just helped me understand it way better. So an argument is more of just a statement that gives both sides of the story, and the reader isn't left feeling persuaded, just thinking differently.
