- 3. Introduction: Curriculum Vitae vs. Resume In the United States, a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and a Resume are considered different genres. In other countries, however, a CV refers any document that demonstrates an applicant’s skills, experience, and accomplishments. 3
- 4. ****** ****** ****** ****** ***** 1_'! i>______..,. '-J ...,.,... _er-. ...,. ~ ~ United States: Resume In the United States, a resume is used to apply for jobs in business, government, and non-profits. It presents the most relevant skills and experiences that make you qualified for the position. Typically, 1-2 pages. 4
- 5. ****** ****** ****** ****** ***** 1_'! i>______..,. '-J ...,.,... _er-. ...,. ~ ~ United States: CV In the United States, a CV is used to apply for: admittance to graduate programs, academic faculty positions, research funding opportunities, tenure and promotion. It is a comprehensive professional document. A typical CV will start at 2 or 3 pages, but will continue to grow in length as an individual develops professionally in his/her field. It is not unusual for a professional who has worked for some time to have a CV of over 50 pages. 5

In other countries, personal information is often expected, and not including this information may mean your application would be rejected. 6
- 7. ****** ****** ****** ****** ***** 1_'! i>______..,. '-J ...,.,... _er-. ...,. ~ ~ United States Community College When applying for teaching positions at a community college in the United States, it is typical to use a resume and not a CV. This is because the position is teaching only and not teaching and scholarly research. To write a resume for a community college, focus on teaching experience and your accomplishments as a teacher and include non-academic work history/experience to show a broad background. 7
- 8. Writing a CV Curriculum Vitae (CV) means "course of life." A CV has much in common with a resume but it is a more comprehensive document. It goes beyond the focus of education and experience to include detailed descriptions of your experience relevant to academic institutions or research positions in industry such as publications; awards (teaching and research); courses taught etc. 8
- 9. Typical CV sections (order of info may vary). Date Name and Contact Information Education: degrees, training, certifications, licenses. Teaching Experience: list course names and date taught, describe course and your teaching role. Research experience: describe research, your role, and advisors. Publications: include a bibliographical citation. Conference Presentations: name of conference, dates, locations, and differentiate where you were invited to present vs. others you just attended. Academic Service: list all departmental and university service (committees, task forces etc.) include student groups you participated in and list any leadership positions you held. Grants: list any grants where you were a Co-PI or if you assisted others who were awarded grants. 9
- 10. CV content is discipline-specific. The content you write for a CV needs to use the language (technical terms) or your discipline and cite publications using the documentation style of your field. Ask your advisor for examples. UI Career Services also has examples (see link on the project page). 10
- 11. Length In the US, a typical CV will start at 3 pages, and will continue to grow in length as an individual develops professionally in his/her field. It is not unusual for a professional who has worked for some time to have a CV of over 50 pages. And a professional will often have more than one CV. A more abbreviated CV that targets the professional’s qualification to do specific research will be used when applying for grants to fund that research. 11
- 12. Document Design Create visual hierarchy to organize sections, so reviewers can easily find what they are looking for: • Use headings and subheadings • Use contrast (bolding) • Bullets • White Space • Horizontal lines Use keywords (nouns and noun-phrases) and describe skills and experience of skill sets using active verbs. Write fragments not complete sentences. 12

- 18. Conclusion A curriculum vitae is a more comprehensive document than a resume. The content you write for a CV will be discipline-specific, but you should always organize the content to emphasize your fit with the institution. Use document design principles, but keep your CV design more conservative than you would a resume. 18
