How is a CV different from a resume? When should I use one over the other?
A resume is a one- to two-page document presenting key facts about your professional experience, educational background, and skills. A CV (Curriculum Vitae) is a longer document that details the whole course of your career. A resume is used for job search, a CV—for academic purposes.
This presentation discusses the differences between the two and helps to clarify when to use a CV and when to use a resume.
