A CV (Curriculum Vitae) and a resume are both documents that summarize your work experience, education, and skills. However, there are some key differences between the two.

1. Length

A CV is typically longer than a resume. A resume is typically one to two pages long, while a CV can be three pages or more. This is because a CV includes more information, such as your complete educational history, research experience, and publications.

2. Purpose

A resume is used for job applications, while a CV can be used for a variety of purposes, including job applications, academic admissions, and grant applications.

3. Content

A resume focuses on your work experience and skills that are relevant to the job you are applying for. A CV, on the other hand, includes a more comprehensive overview of your education, work experience, and other accomplishments.

4. Formatting

A resume is typically formatted in a more traditional way, with sections for your contact information, education, work experience, and skills. A CV can be formatted in a more creative way, and it may include additional sections, such as a list of publications or a section for awards and honors.

Which one to use?

If you are applying for a job, you should use a resume. If you are applying for academic admissions or a grant, you may want to use a CV.

However, it is always best to check with the specific organization to see which document they prefer.
