Page 5: Writing a Curriculum Vitae

Difference between CV and Resume: · The goal of resume is to construct a professional identity. · The goal of CV is to construct a scholarly identity.

Thus, a CV should reflect your abilities as a teacher, researcher, and a publishing scholar

within your discipline.

Page 6: Writing a Curriculum Vitae

Difference between CV and Resume: Resume

· A resume is usually only 1 (to 2) pages in length. · The goal of a resume is to make an individual stand out from the competition. · A resume is tailored based on need. · A resume is more focused on previous relevant work experience, employee history, and key achievements in prior jobs.

Page 7: Writing a Curriculum Vitae

Difference between CV and Resume: CV

· A CV is in-depth. · The goal of a CV is to provide an overview of an individual’s full career. It should include a summary of an individual’s academic background as well as highlight an individual’s research, service and teaching details. · A CV is used when applying for academic or educational positions, grants and awards. · A CV is not customizable per se.
