 What Is a Curriculum Vitae?
A curriculum vitae (CV) provides a summary of
your experience and skills. Typically, CVs for entry-
level candidates are longer than resumes—at least
two or three pages. CVs for mid-level candidates
who have amassed numerous publications tend to
run much longer.
CVs include extensive information on
your academic background, including teaching
experience, degrees, research, awards, publications,
presentations, and other achievements.
 What is a Resume?
A resume provides a summary of your education,
work history, credentials, and other
accomplishments and skills.4 There are also
optional sections, including a resume objective and
a career summary statement.
Resumes are the most common document
requested of applicants in job applications.
A resume should be as concise as possible.
Typically, a resume is one page long, although
sometimes it can be as long as two pages.
