A curriculum vitae (CV) is similar to a resume. In the United States, applicants for jobs in research, education, and medicine frequently use a curriculum vitae. In England and Europe, job seekers more commonly use curriculum vitae instead of a resume.
A resume has less information and is, therefore, shorter than curriculum vitae. Most resumes are one or two pages long. For job seekers in the United States business sector, a resume is more effective in getting interviews with hiring managers who spend just seconds reviewing a resume.
This following example is a skeleton of curriculum vitae. If you replace your information with the information in this example, you will have written curriculum vitae.
