THE

DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN

A

CV

AND

A

RESUME

It

is

common

misconception

that

a

resume

is

just

a

shorter

version

of

a

Curriculum

Vitae

(CV).

A

CV

is

distinguished

from

a

resume

not

by

its

length

but

by

its

conte

nt.

For

most

young

job

seeker,

a

resume

is

usually

all

that

is

required.

However,

it

may

be

useful

to

develop

a

vitae

as

you

further

your

education

and

complete

addi

tional

professional

assignments.

Curriculum

Vitae

A

curriculum

vitae

is

a

comprehensive

biographical

statement

(generally

three

or

mo

re

pages)

emphasizing

professional

qualifications

and

activities.

For

higher

education

positions,

employers

frequently

require

a

vitae

rather

than

a

resume.

Resume

A

resume

is

an

individually

designed

summary

(usually

one

or

two

pages)

of

person

al,

educational

and

experience

qualifications

intended

to

demonstrate

fit

for

a

partic

ular

position

or

type

of

position.

It

focuses

attention

on

the

individual’s

strongest

qu

alifications

and

develops

them

to

fit

the

qpecific

or

general

purpose

for

which

the

material

is

provided.

WHAT

TO

INCLUDE

IN

A

CV

The

following

are

suggestions

on

different

types

of

information

that

you

could

inclu

de

in

your

CV.

Select

as

many

your

achievements.
