What’s the difference between a CV and a resume?
The main difference between a CV and a resume is how much information is included.
Resumes are brief, usually one page; whereas CVs include more elements of your work, academic history and other relevant information. CVs may also include your photo, hobbies, interests and various background details.
What’s the difference between a CV template and curriculum vitae template?
CV is the abbreviation of curriculum vitae, so there’s no difference between these templates. You can use both terms interchangeably!
How can I create my CV with no experience?
Like you can make a resume with no experience, you can create CVs with little to no traditional work history, too.
Volunteering, internships or freelance work can fill out a work history section too. Additionally, CVs focus on the details of one’s education anyway, so you can emphasize this section more.
Should my I have a cover letter than matches my CV template?
Yes, you should match your CV with a fitting cover letter template the same way you’d put together an outfit. They should complement each other!
Our Cover Letter Builder offers 25+ cover letter template options, so you can find the ideal pair!
