what does cv. stand for?
CV stands for Curriculum Vitae which is Latin for course of life. The information in a Curriculum Vitae (CV) is more detailed and varied than the information in a resume. The primary differences between a CV and a resume are the length, what type of information is included, and what the CV or resume is used for. A resume is a brief and concise one or two page summary of your skills, experience, and education. A CV is usually longer (at least two pages) and more detailed than a resume.
