Sometimes you will see the words   used interchangeably. They are not the same. A resume is relatively short document meant to market your professional abilities while a CV contains a thorough listing of your professional, academic, and other experiences. CV stands for curriculum vitae (“course of life”). CVs are comprehensive by design. Think of them as the encyclopedia version of your professional life, spanning your work history, education, certifications, affiliations, publications, and specializations. They can extend well beyond three or four pages. In the United States, CVs are typically limited to professions with standardized positions in which deep expertise is critical, such work history, internships, speaking gigs, teaching appointments, journal publications, and other details that establish credibility. Resumes are used across most industries and are relatively short at just one or nce. Your resume should be tailored and updated based on the specifics of each job
