CVs versus Résumés

Many graduate students have a curriculum vitae (CV) for use when applying for academic jobs or conferences. If you already have a CV, it can be helpful when creating a résumé. There are many differences between the two documents, however, so transforming a CV into a résumé can also be quite a challenge.

One of the biggest differences between a résumé and a CV is in the audience. The CV speaks largely to an academic audience and serves as a record of your academic and intellectual accomplishments. In contrast, a résumé is read by hiring managers in a non-academic organization, and should be tailored to this group. Managers often review hundreds of applicants, and each résumé is reviewed for an average of fifteen seconds. Your résumé must therefore be concise and clear enough to make an immediate impression. It must provide a persuasive account of your specific skills and experiences as they relate to the job for which you have applied.

If you are applying for a non-academic research-oriented position, an administrative job at a university, or a community-college position, it is possible that you will want to use a hybrid document that is a cross between a résumé and a CV. In these instances, you may create a two-page document that provides more information than the typical résumé (such as research experience, recent publications, etc.) but is still much shorter than a CV.

A tabular comparison of the CV and résumé follows.....

IN SHORT,
while a CV can be as long as possible and demonstrates academic achievements and scholarly potential, a resume is more geared towards businesses, is usually just one page long, and focuses on skills and experiences gained that are related to the job you are seeking.

I don't know about other English-speaking areas.

In what they contain, there isn\'t much difference.

I suppose by saying \"send in your resusme or CV\", they are trying to catch as many people as possible, since some people would have not be familiar with one of the terms.

Oops. Typo: it should read \"since some people would not be ...\"

A \"CV\" in the UK is for all purposes - whether academic or applying for jobs.

It is interesting to see that there is a difference between the terms in the US: resume - short; CV - long. It makes sense but such distinction does not apply in the UK. I don\'t think any UK employer would like to receive a \"CV\" that is longer than two pages. Indeed I have been taught a number of times that an ideal \"CV\" should be one A4 side.
