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 content. 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 additional professional assignments.

Curriculum Vitae

A curriculum vitae is a comprehensive biographical statement (generally three or more 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 personal, educational and experience qualifications intended to demonstrate fit for a particular position or type of position. It focuses attention on the individual’s strongest qualifications and develops them to fit the qpecific or general purpose for which the material is provided.
