What is a CV?

CV stands for Curriculum Vitae.  A CV presents a summary of your academic credentials and work experience. Generally a CV is generally used by those who have completed a Master's or Doctoral program and are applying for academic teaching or research positions.

The CV emphasizes academic and research qualifications gained through education, teaching and research, includes a record of presentations and publications, and tends to be longer and more detailed than a typical resume.
