As an academic, you may wonder if you need to craft a resume or a CV as you apply for a new job. Since a CV outlines the full history of your academic credentials, you may think that it makes more sense to use a CV instead a resume for any job you apply for. However, there are a few situations where a resume is more appropriate than a CV.
If you are applying for a job within an academic institution that is more administrative, you would submit a resume instead of a CV. For example, if you were applying to be the dean over students or an office professional of some kind, plan on crafting a resume for your job search.
In contrast, unless the job posting specifically asks for a resume, you should submit a CV for any position that draws specifically on your academic background. For instance, you should provide a CV if you are applying to be a teaching assistant, adjunct faculty member, or to fill another teaching position within your field.
