A curriculum vitae (CV) is used for academic positions and outlines one's entire academic history with no length limit. It includes sections for education, positions, honors, funding, teaching, presentations, and publications. In contrast, a resume is a summary of relevant experiences for a target job and highlights accomplishments. It is shorter with sections for summary, qualifications, experience, achievements, education, and affiliations.

Notes de l'éditeur
- What is the appropriate length of a CV?
- Most academic search committees may focus solely on your institution and your advisor. Given this focus, listing your title, institution, advisor, location, and dates you attended or were employed there are required. Additionally, most faculty reviewers expect to see dates listed on the left-hand side of the page.
- Does order matter on a CV? Yes. It is critical for you to consider the position you are applying for and/or the audience you are writing for when compiling a CV. For example, if you are applying for a faculty position at a small college, you will want to list your teaching experience on the first page of your CV and your research experience and publications later in your document. The reverse would be true if you were applying to a research-intensive university or institute.
- If you want your resume to stand out, Tailor this to the company needs and job posting, Re-read the job posting You want whoever is reading the resume to know AT A GLANCE exactly who they’re dealing with. it’s important that you always list your greatest accomplishments first. Whatever you’ve pulled off in your career that will “wow” hiring managers should be as close to the top of any section of your resume as possible. Also take time to quantify your results. Who are they looking for? What do they want that person to bring to the table? What value can they provide? Make sure these are things you ENJOY doing…don’t list things you’re good at but that you hate doing…or you’ll get stuck doing them again.
- Consistent formatting Fonts Typos, grammer, punctuation Bold to highlight certain things you want the reader to be drawn too
- Include only experiences that are relevant to the job. Employers are not interested in achievements or abilities that are not applicable to the job. If you are in sales and you helped develop an Access database to track supplies, that’s nice, but not relevant. Also be cautious about listing your associations or volunteer work that is irrelevant or may be in conflict with the potential employer.
- Duty describes what you did and an accomplishment describes how well you did it. Use about 3-6 bullets – 1 bullet for each accomplishment Quantifying your accomplishments, you not only make them easier to understand, you really allow the hiring manager to picture the level of work or responsibility you needed to achieve this accomplishment. Add in what the benefit was to your boss or your company. By doing this, you clearly communicate not only what you’re capable of, but also the direct benefit the employer will receive by hiring you.
- As you write your CV or resume, it’s important that you add information that shows you know the industry inside and out. Adding keywords and phrases is a great way to get this done. Be as specific as possible in your job target, branding statement, career summary, professional history, etc. about your accomplishments in the past and what you can contribute now.
- Zero in on the Company’s Needs Your job is to research the specific needs and wants of the company you are applying for and address those needs so that you can showcase how you will make a difference.
