"Please submit your CV or Resume." We see this on almost every job application, but many job seekers still wonder: what exactly is the difference?
The Resume
A resume is a concise, customizable document (usually 1-2 pages) that highlights your skills and work experience relevant to a *specific* job. This is the standard document used in the United States and Canada for most industries.
The CV (Curriculum Vitae)
A CV is an in-depth document that details the whole course of your career. It includes comprehensive information on your academic background, publications, presentations, and awards. CVs are standard in Europe, the UK, Asia, and for academic/research positions in the US.
Which One Do You Need?
Applying for a standard corporate job in the US? Use a Resume.
