The document outlines the typical sections included in a curriculum vitae (CV), which is used primarily in academic settings and emphasizes academic achievements. It lists sections such as education, research and teaching experience, publications, presentations, media contributions, teaching experience, service, honors, awards, and skills. A CV is typically longer than a resume and the sections may be organized differently depending on the academic discipline.
