The word "CV" is surely no stranger to this age and generation. For job seekers, it features frequently in their vocabulary. Many a times the word "CV" is used interchangeably with the word "Resume". Could there be a difference, or do they both mean up to same things?
For knowledge sake, knowing we grow and learn daily, it could be of benefit to us to know what exactly unifies or distinguishes these two words.
The primary differences between a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a page or two, a curriculum vitae is a longer (at least two pages) and more detailed synopsis.
A curriculum vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers may expect to receive a curriculum vitae.
In the United States, a curriculum vitae is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.
I hope this has offered some enlightenment?
