1. What is the difference between resume and CV?

A CV (short for curriculum vitae) is a document outlining information about your
career, education, skills, and achievements, including scholarships and awards.
Generally, a CV is two to three pages long. The length of a CV can vary
depending on your work experience. A resume is a document summarizing your
education, work experience, and skills. The length of a resume may depend upon
how many years of work experience you have. However, for most applicants, it
can be kept to a single page.
When thinking about a CV vs resume, the main differences are:
 Length
 Type of information included
 The ability to customize for specific job roles

3. What are the parts of the resume? Check each element and what important
information to include in each part

The five most important parts of a resume are your contact information, resume
introduction, experience, skills, and education. This standard outline is
appropriate for nearly any job seeker.

1. Contact Information
The purpose of your contact information is to help the hiring manager quickly
know who you are and how to reach you.
 First and last name
 Email
 Phone number
 Mailing address (optional)
 LinkedIn (optional)
 Current job title (optional)

2. Resume Introduction
Your resume introduction is a quick three-to-four sentence summarization to the
hiring manager that details your experience, relevant skills, and other key
qualifications.

There are four main types of resume introductions:

 Resume summary
 Resume objective
 Resume profile
 Summary of qualification

3.Professional Experience
Work experience is one of the most essential parts of a resume, and for most
candidates will make up the bulk of their resume’s content.

When listing work experience, include the following information for each entry:

 Employer or company name

 Location (city and state)
 Employment dates
 Three to five bullet points describing your responsibilities and
accomplishments

4.Skills
 The skills section of your resume sums up your expertise and skillsets to the
hiring manager in a short, easy-to-read list. Regardless of how much experience
you have, you should always include a skills section on your resume.

To write a strong skills section, list your most marketable abilities and include a
mix of both hard skills and soft skills to show employers that you’re a dynamic,
well-rounded candidate.

5. Education
The level of detail you add to your resume education section can vary based on
how much work experience you have and the number of degrees you’ve
achieved. For example, if you’ve just graduated from college, the education part
of your resume should be highly detailed and include any information that’s
relevant to the job you want.

At the very least, your resume education section should include the following four
items:

 School name
 Location
 Degree
 Graduation year
