Resume vs CV

What is a CV ?

A Curriculum Vitae (CV) stands for "course of life" in Latin, a comprehensive record that summarizes your entire professional and academic background. Thus, it can be multiple pages long and includes everything, particularly your entire work history, educational qualifications, research projects, publications, awards, grants, and even volunteer activities.

What is a Resume ?

A Resume simply highlights your key qualifications for a specific job in a concise one-to-two-page document. A Resume should be short and sharp (not exceeding two pages) and focus on the most relevant skills and experiences that match the job description. In short, it serves to highlight why you are the perfect candidate for the position.
