While often used interchangeably, a resume and a curriculum vitae (CV) are not exactly the same. A resume is a concise, usually one to two-page document summarizing your work experience, skills, and education, particularly relevant to the job you’re applying for. A CV, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive document detailing your entire academic and professional history, often used for academic positions or when applying for jobs that require a detailed overview of your career.Â
