What is a CV, and how is it
different from a resume?

A curriculum vitae (CV) is a document some job seekers use to apply for jobs. In Europe, CVs are the standard hiring document.

In the U.S., only specific industries prefer CVs to resumes, including: academia, medicine, research and the sciences. For most other industries, resumes are the standard.

A CV is similar to a resume but includes more sections and details about you. This might include information about the degrees and awards you’ve earned, the research you’ve conducted, your published works, teaching experience and more.

CVs can vary in length. Some very experienced job seekers could have a CV of up to 10 pages long.

By contrast, resumes are at most two pages.

Often, an employer will request a CV. See below for the differences between a CV and a resume and which document is right for you.
