The document discusses the key differences between resumes and CVs. It notes that resumes are shorter documents tailored for each job application that highlight relevant career highlights and skills, while CVs are longer, more comprehensive documents that provide an in-depth overview of all work, education, achievements and projects within a specific field. Resumes are dynamic, concise and targeted, while CVs are static, comprehensive and cumulative documents. The standard resume format is a reverse-chronological structure listing work experience, education and skills most relevant to the position.
2. Resume Vs CV

A resume is a short document of career
highlights customized for each new job
application.
• A CV is a long, in-depth breakdown of all your
work, education, achievements, and projects
within a specific field.

origins: The French résumé can be translated
as “summary” while the Latin curriculum
vitae (CV) means “course of life.” Technical

• Resumes are dynamic, concise, and targeted.
CVs are static, comprehensive, and
cumulative.
• A good resume is a living document updated
with strategic resume keywords for each
unique job description. Your CV, on the other
hand, may remain static and only receive
updates when a new position or
accomplishment needs to be added.
5. Resume vs. CV
• A resume concisely lists work experience, higher
education, and professional accomplishments. The
best resumes are tailored for every job application,
placing an emphasis on the skills and experience most
relevant to a particular job description while keeping
the document relatively short (1-3 pages).
• A CV offers comprehensive professional coverage and
broader life experience. CVs typically start around two
or three pages and can reach up to 15 pages in some
cases (e.g. seasoned academics).
6. What goes on a resume and CV?
• In addition to contact information, a
traditional resume might only include work
experience and education sections.
Some resume templates may also include
sections for a summary statement,
accomplishments, skills, or volunteer work.

qualifications and experiences that are
directly applicable to the job you are trying to
land.

includes unnecessary details like irrelevant
work experience or skills unrelated to the job
you're applying for

looking for an overview of your skills,
