**RESUME OR CURRICULUM VITAE (CV)?**

What\'s the difference between a resume and a CV?  The primary
differences are the length, the content and the purpose.  A resume is a
one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. A goal
of resume writing is to be brief and concise since, at best, the resume
reader will spend a minute or so reviewing your qualifications.

A Curriculum Vitae, commonly referred to as CV, is a longer (two or more
pages), more detailed synopsis. It includes a summary of your
educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research
experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations
and other details.

**When to Use a CV**

In the United States a Curriculum Vitae is used primarily when applying
for international, academic, education, scientific or research positions
or when applying for fellowships or grants.  As with a resume, you may
need different versions of a CV for different type of positions.

**What to Include In Your CV**

Like a resume, your CV should include your name, contact information,
education, skills and experience. In addition to the basics, a CV
includes research and teaching experience, publications, grants and
fellowships, professional associations and licenses, awards and other
information relevant to the position you are applying for.  Start by
making a list of all your background information, then organize it into
categories. Make sure you include dates on all the publications you
include. 

**How to Write a CV**

Colorado College\'s Career Center lists important points to consider
when preparing an effective Curriculum Vitae (CV). It should be:

-   Clear - well-organized and logical

-   Concise - relevant and necessary

-   Complete - includes everything you need

-   Consistent - don\'t mix styles or fonts

-   Current - up-to-date
