Resumes / CV

There are distinct differences between resumes and curriculum vitae (CV). These differences include the length, purpose and the layout of the document. A resume is a brief summary of your skills and experience over one or two pages that are often catered to the job you seek. A CV is more detailed, often utilized in academic job searches, and can stretch well beyond two pages.
