CVs

Both a resume and CV (curriculum vitae) are documents that outline your education, experience and skills. However, they differ in their purpose and layout.

  • When applying to a job in the U.S., a resume is almost always the preferred document.
  • In many other countries, a resume is known as a CV. However, the term CV refers to a different document in the U.S.
  • In the U.S., CVs are most commonly used in academic environments, such as when applying to graduate school, jobs in academia or research positions.
  • CVs are more detailed than resumes and may be many pages long, while resumes are concise, usually only 1-2 pages in length.
  • CVs include more details on academic accomplishments including research, publications and teaching, while resumes focus on work experiences, education and skills.

*Note- for details about what to include in a resume, see our Vandal Resume Guide (PDF).

Possible categories to include in your CV:

  • Education and training
  • Research experiences
  • Teaching experiences
  • Work experiences and internships
  • Projects, works, exhibitions and performances
  • Certificates, licenses and credentials
  • Publications (authored or contributed to)
  • Conferences and workshops (attended or presented)
  • Fellowships, grants or other funding
  • Advising/mentoring
  • Skills such as languages, technical, computer
  • Service, volunteerism and leadership
  • Areas of knowledge, expertise or research interest
  • Awards and accomplishments
  • Affiliations or memberships
