A curriculum vita (CV) is an academic resume and is used only for research and college/university teaching positions. A resume is brief (no more than two pages), and focuses on work experience. A CV can be as long as it takes to state one’s qualifications, publications, papers presented, etc. (10 pages or more, since it includes the entire academic career of a person). Sometimes people ask for a CV when they really want a resume. Be sure to check with the person requesting it to be certain you are using the correct version for that position.
