What’s The Difference Between a CV and a Resume?

Posted on November 1, 2016 - Posted in: Blog

When you’re looking for a job or applying to a program where your work and school experience is important, you’re often asked to provide a resume or CV. Same thing, right? Nope! Though they’re similar, a CV (short for “curricula vitae, which means “courses of life” in Latin) provides a much more expansive view of your career, as opposed to the job-specific resume, which is generally limited to one page in length. If this is news to you, you’re not alone! This blog post from Glassdoor breaks it down and explains which to use when.
