CV
Resume and Curriculum Vitae
What is a Curriculum
Vitae?
The Latin expression “curriculum
vitae” (course of life) refers to a written
account of one's past history, used when applying for a job.
“Curriculum vita” or “vita” for short,
as it is cited in many documents, is incorrect since, in Latin,
a genitive singular feminine noun as “vita” (life),
from the first declension, ends in "ae" not "a."
Curriculum vitae, in American
English usage, is used primarily when applying
for:
- international,
- academic,
- educational,
- scientific,
- research,
- health-related positions or when applying for fellowships
or grants.
Curriculum Vitae, CV
and Resume Difference
In American English usage, there is a
difference between Curriculum Vitae ( or CV in short)
and Resume. A Curriculum Vitae
is a longer and more detailed synopsis of one’s professional
life than the cv
resume. It includes a summary of your educational and
academic background as well as teaching and research experience,
publications, grants and fellowships, presentations, awards,
honors, affiliations and other details.
When Should You Use
a Curriculum Vitae Instead of a Resume
If you're seeking a faculty, research, clinical,
or scientific position involving substantial amounts of research
and teaching you will need a CV or Curriculum vitae instead
of a resume. While there are many similarities between Curriculum
Vitae, or CV, and a resume, there are also several differences
in both content and format.
