WHAT IS A RESUME?

A resume outlines your skills and experiences so an employer can see, at a glance, how you can contribute to the employer's workplace. See the Resume Guide for information on how to develop a successful resume.

WHAT IS A CV?

The curriculum vitae (CV) is a document that details your academic and professional accomplishments. CV's are more comprehensive documents than resumes. They are most often used for academic or research positions, whereas resumes are the preferred documents in business and industry. See the CV Guide for information on how to develop a successful CV.
