What is a Curriculum Vitae (CV)?
A Curriculum Vitae, or CV for short, is a professional document that summarizes your work history, education, and skills. The main purpose of a CV is to sell you, as a candidate, to prospective employers.
When applying for a position, you’re always going to be asked for a CV, coupled with a cover letter.
What’s the Difference Between a CV and a Resume?
If you ask a European, the answer is that the two (for most people) are the same thing.
The term “resume” is more popular in the US, while “CV” is a lot more commonplace in Europe.
In the US, however, a CV sometimes refers to an academic CV - pretty much the same thing as a resume, but a lot more comprehensive.
While a resume is short (one, or two pages max) and comprehensive (only the relevant experience), an academic CV can be as many pages as you need, covering everything you’ve ever done in your career.
