    Mini Research- Curriculum Vitae (CV)

    A Curriculum Vitae, or CV for short, is a detailed document of someone’s academic and

    career history. It is used in some locations around the world in place of a resume when applying

    for a position. For example, CVs are preferred in Europe, the UK, Ireland, Germany, and New

    Zealand. It is also used for private sector positions in places like Australia, South Africa, and

    India. It is even used in the U.S for higher education and medical or research positions. Though it

    is considered an alternative for a resume, it differs from resumes in many ways. For example,

    resumes are usually only one page and tailored to each separate job listing. CVs, on the other

    hand, are usually two or more pages and do not vary with position; Any changes can be specified

    in the cover letter. Additionally, while resumes include only relevant work and school

    experience, CVs show a person’s full and complete working career. The CV focuses mostly on

    the individual’s credentials for the job, whereas the resume focuses more on competencies.

    When writing a CV, there are a few important aspects to include. Like a resume, a

    curriculum vitae should include the applicant’s name, contact information, education, skills, and

    experience. However, the CV should also include research, teaching experience, publications,

    licenses and certifications, awards and honors, essentially any professional information that will

    make the individual stand out to an employer. The CV can even include a personal statement, to

    ensure it covers any information that was not included elsewhere. In addition to this professional

    experience, there are also a few pieces of personal information that should be included in a CV.

    This includes nationality, marital status, age, number of children, etc. It is even encouraged that

    personal interests, hobbies, and photos be included in CVs to show that the candidate is well

    rounded.

    In summary, a CV is a detailed document compiled of a person’s education, work history,

    and achievements, as well as any other accomplishments like publications, awards, honors, etc. It

    is primarily used in locations outside of the U.S, or in higher education and research positions.

    The CV covers a lot more information than a resume and thus has no size limit. Additionally,

    unlike a resume, a CV is static and does not vary with position. Ultimately, no matter the

    profession someone chooses to enter, it is safe to have a Curriculum Vitae ready in case it is ever

    needed in the professional world.
