Why, when and how to use a Curriculum Vitae, plus how to write a CV.
As a general rule, it takes more time and effort to create a curriculum vitae for academia
that it does a resume for other professions. The formats of CVs will differ depending
upon one’s field of study and whether one is writing an international, academic, or
general curriculum vitae (see examples of these various formats and additional
templates here).

Are you still uncertain about whether a curriculum vitae or a resume would be more
appropriate to submit to an employer? Here is the difference between CVs and resumes,
as well as more information about how to write a curriculum vitae.
