Curriculum Vitae

Curriculum Vitae is a Latin expression meaning the course of one’s life. A CV is a detailed document that typically spans multiple pages and includes a comprehensive overview of an individual’s educational background, work experience, publications, awards, skills, and other relevant information.

A resume, on the other hand, is a brief, one- to two-page document that summarizes an individual’s work experience, education, and skills. Unlike a CV, a resume is more focused on a job seeker’s relevant experience and qualifications for a specific job, rather than providing a complete overview of their life and career.

A CV is typically used in academia and in international job applications, while a resume is more commonly used in the United States and other countries as a standard job application document.
