Who Needs Curriculum Vitae?
A curriculum vitae is often required for those applying to graduate or professional programs, employment with international firms, or when promoting oneself within professional and academic fields. How Does a Curriculum Vitae Differ From A Regular Resume? A curriculum vitae is longer than the average 1-2 page resume because it provides a greater range of information which can include: • Professional, Vocational or Research Objective • Summary of Qualifications • Professional Licenses or Certifications • Education including Post Graduate, Graduate and Undergraduate Degrees and Studies • Listing of Relevant Course work to Match Career or Academic Objective • Educational or Professional Honors or Awards • Scientific or Academic Research, Laboratory Experience and Related Skills • Description of Thesis or Dissertation, Papers Written, Publications • Academic or Professional Presentations • Related Extracurricular Activities, Professional and Association Memberships • Community Involvement
