A CV is, in many ways, a more detailed version of a resume with more detailed information about your life.
While most people strive to keep their resume as concise as possible, ideally only one to two pages, a CV can run several pages in length.
CVs include extensive information on your academic background, including teaching experience, degrees, research whereas resumes are short and crisp including only priority info like name, bg and education.
You may add new information to a CV throughout your professional career but the information will not change based on where you’re applying. A resume, on the other hand, is often tailored to highlight specific skills.
If you’re in doubt about whether you should send a CV or a resume, reach out to the recruiter or hiring manager and ask for clarification.
The differences between a resume and a CV include the document’s length and the ability to customise layout options.
