Curricula Vitae (CVs)

Curricula vitae (CVs) are different than most resumes and are only required for certain jobs and industries. Curricula vitae provide a detailed account of your skills and qualifications.

What are the differences between resumes and curricula vitae? A resume details a short summary of your qualifications. A curricula vitae provides more biographical information. Resumes are usually shorter while curricula vitae list more details. Resumes are usually targeted towards a specific position while curricula vitae are usually not.

Curricula vitae are usually required for candidates applying for higher education, science, and medical jobs. Curricula vitae are also widely used in other countries. You should create one if you want to work overseas.
