What’sthe difference? Will you need both?  \nA resume presents a concise summary of your background, including job relevant information such as education and experience, formatted to fit on one page, two at maximum. A CV is more detailed, designed to provide a full history of your academic credentials, soit’s typically appropriate to be longer.  \nBoth are tailored to the specific position, program or company/institution you are applying to. Both typically do not include a description of personal interests.  \nFORMAT & CONTENT  \nIn general, you’ll need a resume to apply for a position at a business, notfor-profit and government entity; a CV is required for individuals seeking fellowships, grants, post-doctoral positions and teaching or research positions in post-secondary academic institutions. Graduate school applications typically request a CV, but in general are looking for a resume with detailed descriptions of research projects and publications.  \nDid you know?  \nIn some European countries, the term “CV” is used to describe all job application documentation, including a resume. In the United States and Canada, the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably. When in doubt, ask for clarification.  \nLET'S COMPARE Here are two examples. . .  \n\n| John Smith\u003Cbr>[702-300-0000 | johnsmith@gmail.com | Las Vegas](702-300-0000 | johnsmith@gmail.com | Las Vegas), NV |  |  | Jane Doe\u003Cbr>University of Nevada, Las Vegas [702-400-0000 | janedoe@unlv.edu](702-400-0000 | janedoe@unlv.edu) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Education\u003Cbr>University of Nevada, Las Vegas\u003Cbr>Bachelors of Arts in Criminal Justice, Minor in Psychology |  | Estimated May 2021 | Education |\n|  |  |  | University of Nevada, Las Vegas Estimated May 2023\u003Cbr>Bachelors of Science in Biological Sciences |\n| Relevant Coursework\u003Cbr>COM 101: Communication Strategies focuses on learning communication strategies to implement into professional, personal, and academic settings. |  |  | Research Interests |\n|  |  |  |  Bacterial physiology and pathogenesis\u003Cbr> Virology and viral pathogenesis |\n| Work Experience\u003Cbr>Student Security Guard | University Police Services Sales Associate | Kohl's\u003Cbr>Internship Experience\u003Cbr>Intern | Clark County Juvenile Detention Center | Jan 2019-Present Jan 2017-July 2017\u003Cbr>July 2019-Present |  | Research Experience |\n|  |  |  | Research Assistant | UNLV Dept. of Biological Sciences Mar 2016-Present\u003Cbr> Perform literature review for upcoming research projects\u003Cbr> Engage in laboratory activities related to lab setup and conduction |\n|  |  |  | Internship Experience |\n|  Develop and implement rehabilitation and treatment plans to assist juveniles\u003Cbr> Shadow probation appointment for juveniles to evaluate their progress\u003Cbr> Arrange court-ordered treatment services and monitoring service activities\u003Cbr>Leadership Experience\u003Cbr>Student Vice President | Alpha Phi Sigma Theta Tau Aug 2018-Present\u003Cbr> Cultivate strong networking skills by participating in conferences\u003Cbr> Host general member and e-board meetings for the organization\u003Cbr> Network in the community to identify and secure scholarships\u003Cbr>Project Experience\u003Cbr>GSC 300: Urban Adventure Fall 2018\u003Cbr> Gained practical experience through participating in simulations\u003Cbr> Learned about today’s social issues that impact the community\u003Cbr> Advanced interpersonal communication and critical thinking skills\u003Cbr>Technology & Skills\u003Cbr>SPSS | CPR & First Aid Certified | Security Guard Card | Data & Analytical Skills | Qualitative Research | Research | Data Visualization | Adobe Acrobat\u003Cbr>Google Suite Microsoft Office |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  | Intern | Las Vegas Valley Water District Aug 2017-Present\u003Cbr> Develop and implement water filtration experiments for the county\u003Cbr> Attend field experiment trips with intern supervisor to develop technical skills\u003Cbr> Network with ","cbCaijn5Wzrpn575","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijn5Wzrpn575","pdf",137648,"English","# Resume vs. Curriculum Vitae (CV)\n## Key differences and typical use cases\n## Format & content guidance\n## LET'S COMPARE: Example sections","[{\"question\":\"What is the main difference between a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV)?\",\"answer\":\"A resume is a concise summary of education and job-relevant experience, typically fitting on one page.
