CV vs. Resume
I've been asked, for the first time in my career, to provide a recruiter with a CV (cirriculum vitae). What is the difference between a CV and resume, what makes a good CV and does anyone have a good example for a technology marketing 'CV'?
gb, Check with the recruiter to clarify what he or she means by a CV. Many people use the terms "CV" and "resume" interchangeably, so your traditional resume might be what the recruiter wants to see. In the US, a Curriculum Vitae (“course of one's life”) is primarily used by people in medical, academic, and scientific professions. If the recruiter is submitting your resume to an academic, medical, or scientific institution, then you most likely will need a CV. A CV can be multiple pages (especially if you have many years of experience), and you should list all credentials, but not necessarily boast (as in a resume) about your achievements. Typical headings of a CV include education/degrees, internships, professional experience, awards and honors, publications (books, articles, reports, journals), speaking engagements, conferences, and professional affiliations.
