Submitted by NurseMark in Career Management Subscribe to forum notifications Save I have been asked recently to provide a CV instead of a resume. Not that I don't want to recreate the wheel, but is there that much difference? NurseMark Submitted by ITIL Imp on Saturday August 19th, 2006 4:45 pm Resume vs. CV To my knowledge: resume = what Americans call a CV CV = curriculum vitae (latin: story of life) is what us Brits call a resume If there's another difference someone please enlighten me :) Log in or register to post comments Submitted by Walter Horstman on Sunday August 20th, 2006 1:47 pm Resume vs. CV In America - a resume is usually 1 page. A CV is usually for those in academia, and can run many pages. It often includes a listing of every article published, every paper presented, etc. Walt Log in or register to post comments Submitted by Mark Horstman on Sunday August 20th, 2006 8:53 pm Resume vs. CV WVH is right. My recommendation is to give them a resume - one page. If they want more, they'll ask. (Some ask for CVs thinking it's cool sounding). Mark Log in or register to post comments
